Houthandel Houtvisie from Bergambacht has been removed from the FSC system by FSC and is no longer allowed to sell FSC-certified timber. Houtvisie was found to pass false claims to customers several times within a short period, meaning non FSC certified wood was sold as FSC certified wood.

All stakeholders are invited to participate in the second consultation on FSC Core Labour Requirements. The deadline to take part is 16 July 2020.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, FSC has extended the transition period of ten national standards and of some of the requirements in the Pesticides Policy.
