Promoting environmentally sound, socially beneficial and economically viable management of forests is the mission of the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®).

The independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization was founded in 1993 as an outcome of the "Environment and Development" conference in Rio de Janeiro. Today, the FSC® is represented by national working groups in over 80 countries. It sees itself as part of a global community that sets a standard for responsible forest management. The central concern of the FSC® is to achieve this in consensus with the local stakeholders of a country. The challenge here is to concentrate the diversity of the world's myriad local producer identities into one label that meets all concerns.

By purchasing FSC®-certified products, you contribute to the responsible use of global forest resources. FSC® achieves this on the one hand by setting and auditing environmental and social standards in forest management, and on the other hand by taking into account recycled material that can be used in FSC® certified products. Products bearing the FSC® eco-label thus stand for the use of forests in accordance with social, economic and ecological needs and for the responsible use of recycled materials - for the benefit of present and future generations.

Please pay attention to FSC certified items.
