We at Asia Partners care about responsible forest management. That’s why we carry the FSC certificate. In this post, we’ll give you a brief introduction to FSC.

What is FSC?

FSC is a global, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of responsible forest management worldwide. They enable businesses and consumers to make informed choices about the forest products they buy, and create positive change by engaging the power of market dynamics.

Today, FSC is the world’s strongest certification system, in terms of global reach, robustness of certification criteria and number of businesses involved in the system. FSC has 28,000 certificate holders in 81 countries worldwide. Read more on their website.

Der FSC wurde gegründet, um eine ökologisch angepasste sozial förderliche wirtschaftlich rentable Bewirtschaftung der Wälder dieser Welt zu fördern und somit zu gewährleisten, dass Bedürfnisse der heutigen Generation befriedigt werden können, ohne die Bedürfnisse zukünftiger Generationen zu gefährden.
