The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit organization that promotes responsible management of the world’s forests. It provides certification to forests and forest-based products that meet high environmental, social, and economic standards, ensuring that forests are managed sustainably.
FSC certification means that a forest or forest-based product has been independently verified to meet the FSC’s rigorous standards for sustainable management. This certification ensures that the forest products are sourced in a way that protects biodiversity, supports local communities, and maintains the ecological balance of the forests.
The FSC supports sustainable forestry by setting standards that require forest managers to preserve biodiversity, prevent deforestation, and protect the rights of workers and indigenous peoples. These standards are designed to ensure that forestry practices are environmentally sound, socially responsible, and economically viable.
FSC certification is important for consumers because it provides assurance that the products they buy come from responsibly managed forests that contribute to environmental conservation and social equity. By choosing FSC-certified products, consumers can support sustainable forestry practices and help combat deforestation.
FSC certification can assist companies in complying with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) by providing evidence that their forest-based products are sourced from sustainably managed forests. Since FSC standards align with key aspects of EUDR, including the prevention of deforestation and protection of biodiversity, FSC-certified products are more likely to meet the stringent requirements of the regulation. This helps businesses demonstrate due diligence and ensure their products are deforestation-free, facilitating easier compliance with EUDR mandates.
