Forest management

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organization which brings people together to find solutions which promote responsible stewardship of the world's forests.

Through consultative processes, it sets international standards for responsible forest management. It accredits independent third party organizations who can certify forest managers and forest product producers to FSC standards.
 
The FSC also undertakes marketing programs and information services that contribute to the mission of promoting responsible forestry worldwide. Its product label allows consumers worldwide to recognize products that support the growth of responsible forest management worldwide.
