The FSC was created in 1993, in the dynamics of the second Earth Summit in Rio (June 1992) by;
• forest owners,
• companies in the wood industry,
• social groups and associations (NGOs) for the protection of the Environment.
The first goal of the FSC is to constructively encourage socially, ecologically and economically responsible forest management initiatives, by making them visible and credible through a label affixed to products from certified forests. The FSC logo signals to the public a product corresponding to clear, transparent specifications verified by independent certifiers, with the support of one of the largest environmental NGOs (WWF and Greenpeace). It thus allows the consumer or the public to identify wood and its derivative products or products from a forest benefiting from forest management that respects the principles of sustainable development as defined in Rio in June 1992, that is to say:
• ecologically adapted,
• socially beneficial and
• economically viable.
The FSC has endeavored to offer buyers and the public the maximum guarantees of credibility.
