FSC Forest Certification: World's Strictest Sustainable Forestry Standards
FSC’s Forest Management Certification ensures forests remain healthy and resilient through the world’s strictest sustainable forestry requirements. Certified forests must be environmentally sound, protecting biodiversity and preventing deforestation.
The certification guarantees forests are socially beneficial, protecting workers’ and Indigenous peoples’ rights, and economically prosperous without compromising ecosystems.
Forests must meet over 70 specific criteria and undergo independent audits. Only compliant forests receive FSC certification, joining the world’s most extensive certified forest supply chain network.

How FSC's Multi-Layer Certification System Ensures Forest Trust
The FSC certification system works like an interconnected ecosystem with multiple actors ensuring forest management credibility. FSC develops standards protecting 150 million hectares of certified forests across environmental, economic, and social areas.
Certification bodies conduct evaluations and annual audits. ASI provides oversight of these bodies, ensuring auditing follows proper procedures. The ISEAL Alliance maintains credible sustainability standards.
This multi-layered system makes FSC the gold standard – the only forest certification meeting ISEAL requirements, ensuring complete credibility when you see the FSC check tree label.
