We have compiled the most frequently asked questions for you below  \nGeneral FAQ about the Forest Stewardship Council FSC®  \n1 . WHAT IS FSC ® ?  \nThe Forest Stewardship Council, FSC® in short, was founded in 1993 and is a non-governmental, non-profit organization . Together with international environmental organizations, labor unions, representatives of indigenous peoples and with companies from the forest sector and the  \ntimber industry, FSC® advocates for an environmentallyfriendly, socially responsible and economically viable use of forests . FSC® is open to everyone who is interested in sustainable forest management and in the preservation of our forests .  \n[www.dincertco.de/en/](www.dincertco.de/en/)  \n2  \n2 . WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF F SC ® ?  \nFSC® wants to make a contribution to the sustainable management of our forests worldwide. In this context, FSC® serves as an alliance of representatives who have different forest-related interests . All representatives are constantly working on a meaningful consensus for a responsible forest management, which is leading to the development of management standards and marketing methods for forest products . The most important marketing tool of FSC® certified products is the registered FSC® logo .  \n3 . WHAT IS THE PATH FROM SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT TO A FSC ® CERTIFIED PRODUCT?  \nThe FSC® standard specifies environmental and social minimum standards for the management of forests . Independent certification organizations such as DIN CERTCO annually verify the compliance of each forest owner with these standard in on-site audits . Upon successful inspection by an independent third party, forest owners may label their products with the FSC® logo and use the logo to market their products . Additional periodic inspections of the further processing of the wood ensure that the FSC® labeled wood is not mixed with non-certified wood, which would not be permissible. This leads to a seal, which consumers recognize and equate with responsible forest management.  \n4 . WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPLES AND CRITERIA FOR AFSC ® CERTIFICATION OF FORESTS?  \nFSC® has defined globally consistent FSC® principles for a responsible forest management, which are implemented on the national level in the form of indicators . Compliance with the following principles is required:  \n· Principle 1: Compliance with laws and FSC® principles  \n· Principle 2: Claims of ownership, land use rights, responsibilities  \n· Principle 3: Rights of indigenous peoples  \n· Principle 4: Relationships with local communities and labor rights  \n· Principle 5: Benefits from the forest  \n· Principle 6: Environmental impacts  \n· Principle 7: Management plan  \n· Principle 8: Monitoring and evaluation  \n· Principle 9: Maintenance of forests with high conservation values  \n· Principle 10: Management of plantations  \n5 . ARE THE SAME STANDARDS APPLIED FOR CERTIFICATIONS WORLDWIDE?  \nThe FSC® Certification and the FSC® standard are based on the internationally consistent principles and criteria of FSC® . As the ecological, social and economic conditions differ from country to country, the national standards for each country are put in concrete terms and may contain different indicators . However, the national FSC® working groups in each country are required to align and harmonize their FSC® standards with their neighboring countries .  \n6 . WHY IS THE USE OF THE FSC ® LOGO SO STRICTLY REGULATED?  \nIt is the responsibility of all FSC® certified companies to ensure that only products made from FSC® certified raw materials are carrying the logo. This is assured by a unique and individual certification number and an individual logo license number within the logo. This gives your customers the opportunity to track each product from the forest over processing to retail.
