FSC (Forrest Stewardship Council) does not issue certificates itself. Independent certification bodies carry out the forest management and chain of custody assessments that lead to FSC certification. The certification bodies are held to account by Assurance Services International.

Forest Management Certification – FSC forest management certification confirms that the forest is being managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability.

Chain of Custody Certification – FSC chain of custody certification provides credible confirmation for products with environmentally and socially responsible sources to access the market.
