FSC®-Certification (A000504) | Bureau Veritas

Ensuring good forestry practices through FSC® certification

The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1993 in response to growing concerns about deforestation. It is now recognised worldwide as an international certification system for forest management.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FSC® CERTIFICATION

The FSC® certification is the first general voluntary standard to support sustainable forest management worldwide. Efficient protection of forest areas and sustainable use of forests includes the preservation and also improvement of the economic, ecological and social functions of forest enterprises. The FSC® logo (also called FSC® certificate) identifies forest products and materials as products of forest enterprises certified according to FSC® criteria and principles. These criteria are supplemented at national level by a wide range of indicators.

All FSC®-certified forest products have been verified along the entire supply chain - from their origin to the end consumer.

  • FSC® forest management

    This FSC® certification is aimed at companies that manage or own forest resources and wish to introduce and communicate responsible, environmentally conscious procedures to their customers.

    Forest operators who wish to obtain FSC® certification must also achieve FSC® chain of custody certification in order to sell their products.

  • FSC® Chain of Custody

    The FSC® chain of custody certification is for companies that process or use FSC® certified wood products (e.g. furniture manufacturers, installers, the wood pulp industry and all other wood products) to confirm the traceability and legal origin of the wood and that are allowed to use the PEFC label (see above).

    Unique to all other certifications, the FSC® approach is to set minimum requirements for the non-FSC® part of the wood in the final product, in case of a product chain certification with a share of non-FSC® certified wood. These are formulated in the Controlled Wood Standard to promote forest certification.



    With chain-of-custody certification, its customers have the right to use the PEFC mark on their wood products, provided they have their own certificate.
