Standards Transparency
Transparency is an important part of keeping the integrity of the FSC system. From investing in GIS technology to providing a public certificate search, we work towards transparency through an ever-expanding range of tools. There is always room for innovation, and we are continually improving in this crucial area in accordance with our Global Strategy.

Digital Audit Reports
Why Write Digital Audit Reports?
We are introducing digital audit reporting to the FSC system in 2022. This will enable us to appropriately access audit data and easily identify trends and impacts of certification, as well as spot risks and act appropriately in a timely manner.
