The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) announces the withdrawal of the remaining forest management certificates in Russia by the respective certification bodies. This is due to the decision by Assurance Services International (ASI) to terminate its FSC assurance activities in Russia.

As we commemorate International Women’s Day, we are pleased to announce the publication of the FSC Strategic Framework on Diversity and Gender. The framework builds on the standards that have long included strong social safeguards to mainstream diversity and gender and lay the foundation for FSC to become a truly diverse and gender-inclusive organization.
