Forest Management

Forest Management (FM) certification ensures that our forests are managed in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. For all, forever.

FM certification involves the inspection of a forest management unit by an independent FSC-accredited certification body. If the forest complies with FSC standards, it is issued a certificate. FSC-certified forests are managed to standards based on FSC’s ten Principles & Criteria.

FM certification is applicable to industrial or private forest owners, forest license holders, community forests, and government-managed forests. FM certificates can be individual certificates or group certificates.
