FSC Certified Lumber Chain Of Custody
JAY-K’s association with the Forest Stewardship Council
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC sets high standards that ensure forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable way.
Landowners and companies that sell timber and forest products seek certification as a way to verify that they have practiced forestry consistent with FSC standards. Independent, certification organizations are accredited by FSC to carry out assessments of forest management to determine standards have been met. These certifiers also verify that companies claiming to sell FSC certified products have tracked their supply back to FSC certified sources. This chain of custody certification assures that consumers can trust the FSC label. JAY-K is a Certified Chain of Custody Supplier for FSC wood products.
Below is a brief summary of some of the points the FCS requires in its full chain of custody. The FSC website www.fsc.org is the resource for all FSC information and practices.
- Prohibit conversion of forests or habitats
