FSC^®
CERTIFICATION

FSC^® stands for "Forest Stewardship Council". We are an international non-profit organization dedicated to promoting responsible forestry. FSC^® certifies forests all over the world to ensure they meet the highest environmental and social standards. Products made with wood and paper from FSC^® forests are marked with our "tick tree" logo. When you see this logo on a product, you can be confident that buying that product won’t mean harming the world’s forests.

HOW DOES THE FSC^® SYSTEM WORK?

Forests are inspected and certified against strict standards based on FSC^®’s 10 Principles of Forest Stewardship. These inspections are undertaken by independent organizations, such as the Soil Association, that are accredited by the FSC^®. In order to receive FSC^® certification, a forest must be managed in an environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable manner. This is what makes the FSC^® system unique and ensures that a forest is well - managed - from the protection of Indigenous people’s rights to the methods of falling trees. Forests that meet these strict standards are given FSC^® certification and the timber is allowed to carry the FSC^® label.

HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT THE PRODUCT REALLY IS FSC^® - CERTIFIED?

In addition to forest certification, the FSC^® system includes a certified chain of custody that tracks materials and products through every stage in the supply chain - from the forest or point of reclamation to the point where it is finished and labeled. This is monitored through the invoicing process and the final label on the product has a code confirming that the item is genuinely FSC^®.
