FSC Forest Management Certification

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 sgs 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 recognised standards of the fsc.
Our forest management certification services are carried out by sgs, an fsc-accredited certification body that inspects, audits and certifies organisations against the fsc principles and criteria for forest management. Your forest management will be assessed against the requirements of the fsc forest management standard.
The fsc also evaluates, accredits and monitors forest certification organisations, which are authorised to certify against its principles and criteria. The sgs programme holds fsc accreditation.
From logs to lumber, to furniture or wood pulp to paper and printed products, it is becoming more important to know exactly where your materials have come from. Forestry product chain of custody (coc) certification from sgs means anyone, anywhere in the world, can quickly determine the origins of your wood products and the processes through which they have been. It is the guarantee increasingly sought by both end consumers and your customers alike.
Partnering with sgs for your forest management and forestry product certification leads to better-performing processes, increasingly skilful talent, consistent and compliant supply chains and more sustainable customer relationships delivering profitable competitive advantage.
