FSC® Certificate
The FSC certificate guarantees that the wood used in a product comes from forests classed as ‘properly managed’, as approved by the autonomous Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC).
Criteria
The FSC assesses forest management based on strict standards for the environment, social circumstances and economy. An extensive, worldwide monitoring system guarantees that wood with an FSC certificate actually comes from sustainably managed forests.
