The global standard
The FSC label is known and trusted by end consumers worldwide. FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council, an international certification system for forestry. Ten globally valid principles guarantee that wood and paper products with the FSC label come from responsibly managed forests.
These principles have been defined in an international standard. The FSC standard stipulates that the ecological functions of a forest must be preserved, it protects endangered animal and plant species, and it safeguards the rights of the indigenous inhabitants and workers.
An FSC-certified forest is one that is managed according to strict ecological and social principles. In this way, the forest is preserved as an ecosystem in the long term.
