As a chamber-balanced, multi-stakeholder organisation, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) welcomes and embraces debate and discussion at every level. However, internal debate must be framed in the wider context of our overall mission: to promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests.

Currently, there is a situation involving the Board of Directors of FSC Australia and New Zealand (FSC ANZ). This is impacting the operations and brand integrity of FSC.

FSC International is conducting discussions with FSC ANZ members regarding specific ideas and proposals that will chart a path forward for FSC Australia which is in keeping with FSC's mission and values.

FSC International will communicate an update soon.
