Forestry Stewardship Council

The Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) is an organization that promotes responsible management of the world's forests. FSC sets standards to ensure forests are harvested sustainably—meaning they are replanted and preserved for environmental health, wildlife, and local communities. Products with FSC certification, like paper and wood furniture, guarantee they come from well-managed forests. This helps consumers make environmentally conscious choices, supporting practices that protect forest ecosystems, promote biodiversity, and respect local social and economic needs while meeting market demand.
