What does the forest stewardship council do?

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit organization that promotes responsible management of the world’s forests. It establishes standards for forest management and certification, ensuring that forests are managed in environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable ways. By certifying products from sustainably managed forests, the FSC helps consumers identify and choose wood and paper products that support sustainable forestry practices. Additionally, the organization works to protect biodiversity, forests, and the rights of indigenous peoples.
