Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) International

Forest Stewardship Council is a global, membership-based organisation established in 1993 to promote responsible forest management through certification and standards. Founded in response to concerns over deforestation, it operates a market-based system that links forest management practices with supply chain certification and product labelling. FSC brings together environmental groups, businesses, and social organisations within a governance structure divided into environmental, social, and economic chambers. Its core system includes forest management certification and chain-of-custody standards, enabling companies to verify that forest-based products originate from responsibly managed sources.
