Gain a competitive advantage in global timber markets with FSC™ forest management certification services from SGS.
A Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC) accredited Forest Management certification from SGS1 assures buyers that timber has come from a forest which has been evaluated and certified as being managed according to the correct social, economic and environmental standards.
Forest management certification is an independent assessment that ensures your forest management practices are in compliance with the internationally recognized standards of the FSC.
Our FSC forest management certification services are carried out by SGS, an FSC-accredited certification body that inspects, audits and certifies organizations against the FSC Principles and Criteria for Forest Management. Your forest management will be assessed against the requirements of the FSC forest management standards.
The FSC also sets rules, for the accreditation* and monitoring forest certification bodies, which are authorized to certify against its principles and criteria. The SGS program holds FSC accreditation.
From logs to lumber, to furniture or wood pulp to paper and printed products, it is becoming more important to control supply chains.

It is the guarantee increasingly sought by both end consumers and your customers alike.
