Forest Stewardship Council (FSC©) certified, indicates that forests are well managed according to strict environmental, social and economic standards.

HOW IT WORKS

The vision of FSC©is to see that the world’s forests meet the social, ecological, and economic rights and needs of the present generation without compromising those of future generations. It does this in the following three ways:

1. Environmentally Appropriate - Environmentally appropriate forest management ensures that the harvest of timber and non-timber products maintains the forest's biodiversity, productivity, and ecological processes.
2. Socially Beneficial - Socially beneficial forest management helps both local people and society at large to enjoy long term benefits and also provides strong incentives to local people to sustain the forest resources and adhere to long-term management plans.
3. Economically Viable - Economically viable forest management means that forest operations are structured and managed so as to be sufficiently profitable, without generating financial profit at the expense of the forest resource, the ecosystem, or affected communities. The tension between the need to generate adequate financial returns and the principles of responsible forest operations can be reduced through efforts to market the full range of forest products and services for their best value.
