What Does It Mean to be FSC Certified?


With all the different certifications out there, how can we keep track of them all. How do we know if we are being "greenwashed"? Well, let me tell you about one certification that means well, does well, and is run by people who care. When you see the FSC logo you can be sure you are getting a product that will back your morals.

What does FSC mean? Forest Stewardship Council
Who are they?

FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.


Established in 1993 as a response to concerns over global deforestation, FSC is widely regarded as one of the most important initiatives of the last decade to promote responsible forest management worldwide.

FSC is a certification system that provides internationally recognized standard-setting, trademark assurance and accreditation services to companies, organizations, and communities interested in responsible forestry.

The FSC label provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value.

FSC is nationally represented in more than 50 countries around the world.
