FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. Established in 1993 as a response to concerns over global deforestation, FSC is widely regarded as one of the most important initiatives of the last decade to promote responsible forest management worldwide. FSC provides internationally recognized standard-setting, trademark assurance and accreditation services to companies, organizations, and communities interested in responsible forestry. The FSC label provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value. FSC is nationally represented in more than 50 countries around the world.

Responsible Forest Management

 Responsible Forest Management provides a way of using trees and non-timber forest products to meet people's ever-increasing need for lumber, paper and other products without degrading forest ecosystems.

• The forest is well maintained under FSC certification guidelines to assure it remains healthy and productive.
• Trees are selected from FSC forests so as to not cause undue damage to the ecosystem.
• The effect foresting has on the land is mitigated to the greatest degree possible to avoid damage to the ecosystem.
• Harvested areas are replanted and maintained to keep the forest and surrounding lands healthy, vibrant and productive.
