WHAT IS FSC?

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) – a non-profit international organization that controls socially-oriented and responsible use of forest resources worldwide. Forest Stewardship Council ensures economically sound forest management.

If you would like to get the right to FSC labeling that means to receive confirmation of the legal timber origin and its harvesting in responsibly managed areas. The standard implies the development and implementation of chain of custody (CoC).
