Forest Stewardship Council

About

FSC is a global forest certification system established for forests and forest products. FSC International sets the framework for developing and maintaining international, national and sub- national standards. This is intended to ensure that the process for developing FSC policies and standards is transparent, independent and participatory. A number of alternative national and regional forest certification bodies also exist around the globe. From the perspective of the WWF , this voluntary mechanism can be regarded as one of the more interesting initiatives of the last decade to promote better forest management.
