What does FCS certified stand for?
FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council, an international organization that promotes responsible forest management.
What is the FCS certification?
FSC certification is a third-party verification system that ensures that the products you buy come from responsibly managed forests
Why is FCS certified important?
FSC certification provides assurance that forests are being managed responsibly, and it helps consumers make informed choices about the products they buy.
In addition to protecting the environment, FSC certification also ensures that the workers who produce these products are treated fairly and work in safe conditions. FSC certification requires that workers are paid fairly and have access to appropriate safety equipment and training.
