FSC®, consists of the initials of the Forest Stewardship Council®, a non-profit-making community working for the use of forest products within the defined conditions and processes of tagged forests. This international organization has created a global protection chain program (CoC - Chain of Custody), aiming the establishment and preservation of standards for forest products and have awarded accreditation numbers, following the certification process.
Shortly, the FSC®-CoC certificate proves that the forest products (paper products, furniture, etc.) are obtained from controlled sources under the right conditions. The manufacturer with this certificate may indicate this on the final product to be contacted by the consumer and may prove it by using the FSC® (FSC® C132360) logo with the license number.
