Forests sustain life on earth and must be protected. That's why the Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC®) – a non-profit membership organization that covers over 200 million hectares of certified forests – exists to provide a sustainable forest management solution that is trusted by NGOs, consumers and businesses alike to protect healthy and resilient forests, for all, forever. As the most recognized, trusted and rigorous forest certification system, FSC's "check tree" label – found on millions of products worldwide – verifies sustainable sourcing from forest to consumer. FSC’s responsible forestry standard, linked to a strict chain of custody certification, is a proven solution to tackle today's climate and biodiversity challenges. This means choosing FSC helps protect the future of forests and the communities who depend on them. Join our mission to protect the world’s forests.
