FSC® & SUSTAINABILITY 7 FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) is an international marking scheme for sustainable wood. The FSC® mark documents that the products stem from forest areas that are used sustainably. • The FSC® has a broad approach to sustainability – and it works with the financial, social and environmental aspects. • The FSC® ensures that the number of trees chopped down does not exceed what the forest can replenish naturally. • The FSC® ensures that rare plants, waterways and springs are protected. • The FSC® forest ensures that endangered animals are safe, by protecting their habitat from logging. • The FSC® ensures that a percentage of the total revenue from the forest is used to support the local society. • The FSC® makes sure that forest workers receive a fair salary, safety equipment and training.
