FSC is a global, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of responsible forest management worldwide.
FSC was established in1993, as a follow-up to the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the Earth Summit at Rio de Janeiro, 1992) with the mission to promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests.
