Forest Stewardship Council®: ”FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.”
Lumber and wood products may be marked with the FSC logo. ”The FSC label ensures that the forest products used are from responsibly harvested and verified sources.”
FSC certified companies must adhere to criteria describing, “how forests can be managed to meet the social, economic, ecological, cultural and spiritual needs of present and future generations. Developed through a strong, multi-stakeholder process, they include managerial aspects as well as environmental and social requirements.”
