FSC forest management certification confirms that the forest is being managed in a way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability. FSC-certified forests are managed to strict environmental, social and economic standards. There are ten principles that any forest operation must adhere to before it can receive FSC forest management certification. These principles cover a broad range of issues, from maintaining high conservation values to community relations and workers’ rights, as well as monitoring the environmental and social impacts of the forest management.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit organization that promotes responsible forest management by setting strict environmental, social, and economic standards for how forests are managed and how wood and paper products are sourced. It certifies forests and businesses through independent audits, ensures traceability across the supply chain (from forest to finished product), and allows certified companies to use FSC labels on their products—giving customers confidence that the materials come from sustainable and responsibly managed sources.

FSC-certified forests have environmental, economic and social benefits. As the world’s most trusted sustainable forest management solution, FSC labelling tells customers
that the materials used originate from sustainable and legal sources. Therefore, an FSC-certified forest gives the assurance that all these factors have been considered. That assurance then extends to all the materials coming from this forest. FSC is not only good for forest management, it is also good for businesses using materials from FSC-certified forests.

Paper is generally considered more sustainable than plastic because it is biodegradable, compostable, and derived from a renewable resource (trees), whereas plastic is made from finite fossil fuels and persists in the environment for centuries. Paper is also easier to recycle, with significantly higher recycling rates than plastic
