Forests are one of the most valuable resources on our planet, providing us with clean air, water, and a variety of natural habitats for wildlife. However, with the increasing demand for wood and paper products, forests are under threat from unsustainable logging practices. That's where the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) comes in.
The FSC is an international organization that promotes responsible forest management. They have developed a set of standards that ensure that forests are managed in an environmentally, socially, and economically responsible way. Products that meet these standards can be certified as FSC Certified.
⚙FSC 100%
All materials used come from responsibly managed, FSC®-certified forests. Products with the FSC® 100% label contribute most directly to our mission to ensure thriving forests for all, forever.
⚙FSC Recycled
The product is made from 100 per cent recycled materials. Using recycled material makes the most of precious forest resources and reduces the pressure to harvest more trees.
⚙FSC MIX
The product is made with a mixture of materials from FSC®-certified forests, recycled materials, and/or FSC® controlled wood. While controlled wood doesn’t come from FSC®-certified forests, it mitigates the risk of the material originating from unacceptable sources.

The FSC has ten principles and criteria for responsible forest management. These include:
⚙Compliance with laws and FSC principles
⚙Respect for indigenous peoples' rights
⚙Maintenance of high conservation value forests
⚙Protection of workers' rights and welfare
⚙Environmental impact assessment and management
⚙Monitoring and assessment of forest management
When you buy a product that is FSC Certified, you can be sure that it comes from a forest that is managed in a responsible way. This means that the forest is being protected for future generations, and that the people who work in and around the forest are being treated fairly. FSC Certified products also help to support responsible companies and encourage other companies to adopt sustainable practices.

To become FSC Certified, a forest must undergo an assessment by an independent certification body. The assessment looks at whether the forest meets the FSC's standards for responsible forest management. If the forest meets these standards, it can be certified as FSC Certified.
Products that come from FSC Certified forests can also be certified as FSC Certified. This includes everything from paper and packaging to furniture and building materials. Look for the FSC logo on products to ensure that they are certified.
FSC Certification is an important tool for promoting responsible forest management. By choosing products that are FSC Certified, you can help to protect forests and support sustainable practices. Look for the FSC logo on products to ensure that you are making a responsible choice.
