Forest stewardship certification

Forest Stewardship Certification (FSC) is a process that ensures forests are managed responsibly, balancing environmental health, social benefits, and economic viability. When a forest is certified, it means that the practices used to manage it meet strict standards for sustainability, promoting biodiversity, protecting wildlife habitats, and respecting the rights of local communities. Products made from certified forests, like paper and timber, carry an FSC label, helping consumers make informed choices that support responsible forestry and contribute to the protection of forests worldwide. This certification aims to prevent deforestation and promote sustainable practices for future generations.
