What is a chain of custody?
The chain of custody certification is for companies that manufacture or sell timber products, including paper manufacturers, traders, and printing houses. A supply chain certification allows companies to verify that the timber used in production comes from sustainably managed forests, considering economic, ecological, and social aspects.
For a product to be considered FSC-certified, all companies involved in the production, processing, repackaging, and selling of the product must be certified in accordance with the chain of custody standards. Only then companies are entitled to use certification statements and label products with the FSC trademark, thus identifying materials obtained from responsible sources.
What is FSC?
The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) is an international, independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization founded by representatives of environmental and social organizations, as well as forest owners and timber processors from around the world. The aim of the Council is to promote environmentally sound, socially beneficial and economically viable global forest management (www.fsc.org ).
