FSC

Consumers, companies, public authorities increasingly require guarantees that harvested trees, paper and wood products come from properly managed sources.

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification system enables to differentiate wood products that come from responsible forest management which delivers added value.

This scheme is based both on sustainable development and good practices principles applied to forest management and on traceability principles applied to trading and processing companies using wood products from the certified forests.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent NGO (Non Governmental Organization) created in 1993 by environmental NGOs, wood trade organizations, foresters, indigenous people and certification bodies representing 25 countries. It stands as the one of the most globally recognized group promoting forestry certification standards.

FSC is based on two solutions:

• A Forest Management certificate, for companies that manage forest resources
• A Chain Of Custody certificate, for companies using forest products (i.e. furniture manufacturers, publishers, pulp industries, and all wood products, etc.) to attest the wood origin traceability.
