The new Network Policy is written from the position of the FSC Statutes and the Global Strategy 2021–2026, both of which underline that the core strength of FSC is anchored in membership engagement and a global network of local partners: these are what enable FSC to deliver on its global mission. FSC’s grassroots, locally driven approach has been vital to FSC’s global development. The process of local co-creation has produced remarkable results so far.  \nOver the years, the necessary processes of adaptation involved in the expansion of FSC into different regions of the world have produced our current structure and methods of governance. While this has undoubtedly helped FSC to grow and thrive, it has also led to several challenges: complexities in governance, a need for higher levels of accountability, and clearer lines of communication between FSC International, Network Partners, National Representatives, and both international and national members – the ‘owners’ of and ultimate decision-makers for the organization.  \nThe purpose of the Network Policy, which is rooted in the FSC Statutes and adheres to our memberdriven ethos with balanced representation of environmental, social, and economic stakeholders, is to address these complexities, highlight the importance of cooperation, collaboration and co-creation, and increase transparency and accountability – all with the goal of strengthening and expanding the network. This purpose can be achieved by proactively engaging with members and stakeholders in the economic, environmental, and social spheres, and by acting upon opportunities that present themselves in all parts of the world.  \nCONTENTS  \nOpening Statement 1  \nNoteworthy Changes in the New Policy 4  \n1.
