International certification system Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) in details:

International certification system Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) was founded in 1993 on the initiatives of representative of international environmental organizations, wholesalers and retailers of timber, foresters, wood industry, associations of indigenous people, trade unions and certifications bodies from all around the world. The basic idea of FSC® organization is to promote

forest management worldwide and thus help to protect vanishing, vulnerable and devastated world forests.

FSC® certificate holder provides the evidence to final consumer that products made of wood, paper, or other forest products originate from responsibly managed forests taking into account nature protection requirements, considering social conditions of workers, local communities welfare and legality of harvested timber.

Products from certified forests go through chain of harvesting, processing, manufacturing and trading entities before they reach the final customer. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the flow of the material to keep the origin of the wood clearly demonstrable. This is called chain of custody (CoC). As the prove of wood origin, CoC certification links the forests certified according FSC forest management certification demanding modern rigorous environmental, social and economical on forest management requirements with the certified forest products.
