what is fsc?
LEADING THE WAY
The Forest Stewardship Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to responsible
management of our forests. Created in 1993, the goal was to change the dialogue about
sustainable forestry worldwide. In doing so, the FSC has established guidelines,
principles and standards that span economic, social and environmental concerns.The
FSC standards represent the world's strongest system for guiding forestry management
toward sustainable outcomes.
What this means for printing & paper is that here in the U.S., the largest market
for paper products in the world, we have a significant need to to contribute to
conservation, responsible management and community level benefits for people near
paper producing forests. Emerald City agrees with and upholds these standards. We
all need to do our part.
