How FSC-certified wood stacks up
Wood sourced from FSC-certified forests is harvested sustainably, so there is no net loss of forest over time. This allows forests to keep doing their job of regulating the earth’s climate and protecting biodiversity.
Wood choices as diverse as the forest
Sourcing responsibly doesn’t mean sacrificing quality or variety. Meet your specific needs with thousands of FSC-certified wood products, including lesser-known timber species that also have environmental, social, and economic benefits.
