Through a partnership with FSC Canada, FSC US, and the Free to Grow in Forestry Movement, FSC International is pleased to announce an initiative on improving workplace culture in North America’s forestry sector.

Here’s how we’re tailoring our work and optimizing solutions to best support EUDR compliance. 

FSC is excited to announce the launch of a new eTraining on the Continuous Improvement Procedure (CIP) (FSC-PRO-30-011 V1-1), a stepwise approach that enables Small or Low-Intensity Managed Forests (SLIMF) and community forests to progressively achieve FSC certification. This tool provides flexibility and reduces barriers, helping smallholders and communities engage with FSC standards over time.

During COP15 in Montreal, Canada, FSC together with WWF and IKEA announced the launch of an initiative to fast-track Biodiversity Assessments in FSC-certified forests.

Consultation on the revised specific certification body standards (FSC-STD-20-007 for forest management and FSC-STD-20-011 for chain of custody) is open from 21 October 2024 to 21 November 2024 for your input
