Just as we depend on forests, forests depend on us. At the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) we unite citizens, businesses, governments, and NGOs under a common goal: protecting healthy, resilient forests for all, forever.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit, multi-stakeholder organization established in 1993 to promote responsible management of the world’s forests. The FSC does this by setting standards on forest products, along with certifying and labeling them as eco-friendly. FSC's mission is to promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world's forests.
