Many suppliers will tell you, often in good faith, that their supplies are from ‘sustainable’ or ‘managed’ sources, or from plantations. But without credible certification there is often no way to know if products have been sourced responsibly.

FSC certification enables businesses and consumers to choose wood, paper and other forest products made with materials from well-managed forests and/or recycled sources.

FSC UK offers training courses designed to introduce and explain the FSC system and how it relates to your business or organisation. Our courses are suitable for anyone who needs a thorough understanding of the FSC system. These are the only courses in the UK delivered by FSC staff members. These courses are your opportunity to learn first-hand about the FSC system and ask specific questions about the benefits that FSC can bring to your business or organisation. Please note that FSC UK provides up to date and accurate training on FSC standards. FSC certification is undertaken by third-party certification bodies and is independent of FSC. Understanding and complying with these standards is your responsibility.
