The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world’s forests. Since its foundation in 1994, FSC has grown to become the world’s most respected and widespread forest certification system.

Advancing climate action and conservation through responsible forest stewardship

Here, we take a closer look at FSC in action across Aotearoa New Zealand, through the voices of the people and organisations helping bring responsible forest management, trusted supply chains and forest stewardship to life every day.

FSC International has launched the revision of the Australian Controlled Wood National Risk Assessment (NRA), first published in 2019. The NRA evaluates the risks associated with sourcing timber and forest products from non-FSC-certified forests and establishes mitigation measures to address identified risks.
