What is FSC Certification?
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification is a globally recognized standard for responsible forest management. It ensures that products made from wood are sourced sustainably, considering environmental, social, and economic factors. Here are some key points about FSC:
- Sustainability: FSC promotes the responsible use of forest resources to preserve biodiversity and maintain ecosystems.
- Social Responsibility: The certification supports the rights and well-being of workers and local communities involved in forest management.
- Economic Viability: It ensures that forest management practices are economically sustainable while not compromising environmental and social concerns.
- Traceability: Products carrying the FSC label come from certified sources, ensuring transparency in the supply chain.
