In 2024, the Forest Stewardship Council turned 30. Many milestones were met along this three-decade journey. We have faced numerous challenges, grown exponentially, and always kept our eyes focused on the mission of protecting our world’s forests. Take a look at some of our key moments over the years!
Our lives depend on forests. They purify the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and supply countless products we use every day.
See how forests impact all of us and learn how responsible forestry can help fight climate change, protect biodiversity, and support communities.
We set the standard for responsible forestry worldwide. Our diverse ecosystem of stakeholders is changing the way forests are valued and managed, because that’s what stewards do.
Our “check tree” label can be found on millions of products and stands alone as the most trusted mark for responsible forestry. Recognized by 46% of consumers worldwide,1 it verifies sustainable sourcing from forest to consumer.
FSC members are at the center of everything we do. They represent social, environmental, and economic interests working together to define our responsible forestry standards.
