Overview & More informations

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a non-profit organization that promotes responsible management of the world’s forests. It was founded in 1993 by a group of environmentalists, social activists, and business leaders who were concerned about the impact of deforestation and forest degradation. FSC sets standards for responsible forest management and certifies forests that meet these standards. FSC-certified forests are managed in a way that protects the environment, respects the rights of indigenous peoples, and provides social and economic benefits to local communities.

FSC is an international organization with offices in over 80 countries. It has developed a set of 10 Principles and Criteria for Responsible Forest Management that are used to certify forests. These principles and criteria cover a wide range of issues, including:

* **Environmental protection:** FSC-certified forests are managed in a way that protects water quality, air quality, and biodiversity.
* **Social responsibility:** FSC-certified forests respect the rights of indigenous peoples and provide social and economic benefits to local communities.
* **Economic viability:** FSC-certified forests are managed in a way that is economically viable for forest owners and operators.

FSC certification is a voluntary process. Forest owners and operators can choose to have their forests certified by FSC if they believe that it will help them to manage their forests more responsibly and sustainably. FSC certification can also help forest owners and operators to access new markets and to get a better price for their products.

FSC-certified products are available in a wide range of markets, including the United States, Europe, and Asia. FSC-certified products include wood products, paper products, and other forest products. Consumers can look for the FSC logo on products to ensure that they are made from wood that has been harvested from responsibly managed forests.
