FSC® is the leader in sustainable forestry, trusted by NGOs, businesses, and consumers worldwide to protect healthy, resilient forests for all, forever.
FSC’s sustainable forestry standards translate into tangible actions that make a positive impact on the world’s forests.
The FSC certification system verifies sustainable sourcing of forest products and ecosystem services at every step of the value chain, from forest to consumer.
The most visible symbol of certification is the FSC label, which can be found on millions of products and is recognized by 56 per cent* of consumers around the world.
Every FSC label is backed by a diverse ecosystem of forest managers, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and others committed to upholding a common set of responsible forestry standards that support:
- zero deforestation
- safeguarding of ancient and endangered forests
- fair wage and work environment
- biodiversity preservation
- community rights, including the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
