Consumers are becoming increasingly critical. They increasingly want products that are also manufactured according to ecological and social criteria. With the FSC® logo, companies ensure that wood comes from sustainably managed forests. Certified companies can put the FSC® logo directly on the goods and advertise it. Against the background of the growing number of critical consumers and the growing awareness of FSC®, companies with FSC® have a simple management tool to do business sustainably and to communicate this credibly.

The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) was founded in 1993 by environmental organizations, representatives of local ethnic groups and companies in the forestry and timber industry as a worldwide, independent and non-profit organization. The FSC® is a member organization that is open to all natural and legal persons.
