Forest Stewardship Council®


Forest Stewardship Council®

is an international non-governmental non-profit organization. Organized into three chambers (economic, environmental and social), its mission is to promote a world forests management that is environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable.

FSC® has developed the first system of forest certification, based mainly on the "10 principles and 56 criteria of good forest management" as an international standard of forest management. This standard is adapted by each country to local conditions by the FSC® national office of representation (FSC® national standard) or, when not represented, by the FSC® accredited agency.


FSC® has developed a system of certification of forest products based on two certificates: the forest management certificate and the certificate of procurement and processing (or chain of custody, also known as chain of traceability).

FSC® has created a certification program for independent certification agencies, third parties, to certify forest management and chain of custody of timber according to requirements set by the FSC®.

FSC® has developed its own brand and logo so that final users (consumers) can identify wood products from FSC® certified forest.
