Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the world's forests. FSC sets high standards that ensure forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable way. Landowners and companies that sell timber or forest products seek certification as a way to verify to consumers that they have practiced forestry consistent with FSC standards. Independent, certification organizations are accredited by FSC to carry out assessments of forest management to determine if standards have been met. These certifiers also verify that companies claiming to sell FSC certified products have tracked their supply back to FSC certified sources. This chain of custody certification assures that consumers can trust the FSC label. Trusted environmental organizations including Greenpeace, National Wildlife Federation, The Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, and World Wildlife Fund all support and encourage FSC certification. Consumers wishing to support healthy forests and communities should look and ask for the FSC label when purchasing wood or paper products. FSC-US, based in Washington, DC, is the US "chapter" of FSC International, based in Bonn Germany. For more information about FSC at the International level, please visit www.fsc.org. www.fsc.org.br

Corey also admits that Pottery Barn is already playing its role in responsible forest management by using products which are FSC approved. Pottery Barn is also a member of the Global Forest Trade Network, which is a program initiated by the World Wildlife Fund aimed at moving supply-chain networks to FSC certified products globally. Corey further reveals that Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids and Pottery Barn Teen have already transitioned their catalogues to FSC certified paper thereby providing impetus to the efforts of enforcing responsible forest management. According to Corey, the FSC certified wood comes from forests around the world and is managed according to strict environment laws. FSC's criteria ensure protection of the biodiversity and conservation of scare resources.
