International Forest Stewardship Council

The International Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a global organization that promotes responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC sets standards to ensure forests are harvested sustainably—protecting ecosystems, respecting workers’ rights, and preventing illegal logging. Products bearing the FSC label, like furniture or paper, guarantee they come from well-managed forests. This certification helps consumers make environmentally and socially responsible choices, balancing economic needs with ecological health. FSC’s goal is to preserve forest biodiversity and support the well-being of communities that depend on forests for their livelihoods.
