forest certification
Sustainable logging credential
Forest certification is a voluntary process verifying that timber or wood products come from responsibly managed forests meeting environmental and social standards.
Organizations like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) audit logging operations and grant certification to those practicing sustainable harvesting, protecting wildlife habitat, and respecting indigenous rights.
Consumers encounter certification as labels on lumber and paper products: Look for the FSC logo when buying wood furniture.
