FSC

FSC is a global forest certification system established for forests and forest products. According to the Council, the use of the FSC logo signifies that a product comes from environmentally, socially, and economically responsible sources. In addition to its global certification standard, FSC develops national standards in selected countries. The FSC has 10 Principles and associated Criteria (FSC P&C) that form the basis for all FSC standards and certification.

 FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council, which is an international non-profit organisation founded in 1993 with a mission to create responsible forestry. It is the only forest verification scheme endorsed by leading environmental charities like WWF, the Woodland Trust and Greenpeace.

FSC-certification can apply to a range of solid and composite wood and panel products including: rough wood, sawn wood, charcoal, sawdust, veneers, plywood, MDF, laminated timber, pallets, doors, window frames, trusses, flooring, furniture, tools, instruments, cookware, toys and coffins.
