Forest Stewardship Council
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is the only independent, not-for-profit, membership organization that advances forest stewardship through certification of forest management practices and marketplace labeling of certified forest products. WWF works closely with the FSC to protect forest ecosystems. Their approach is founded upon specific, performance-based standards for sustainable forest management.
FSC standards are based on a set of international "Principles and Criteria for Forest Management," and are adapted at the regional level by individuals from local environmental and conservation groups, the timber industry, community and economic development organizations and the general public. A forestry operation that meets FSC standards protects forest ecosystems, water quality, wildlife habitats and local communities. Operations that meet FSC standards are certified and their forest products can carry the FSC label.
