In June, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Canada celebrated the first anniversary of its new responsible forest management standard — which has received strong support from industry and NGOs alike.
The new responsible forest management standard has received strong support from
FSC partners including Chantiers Chibougamau (a 2019 FSC Leadership Award
winner)
— which has already transitioned 2.4 million hectares of forest to the new
standard; and Procter &
Gamble, which continues to
support FSC through its sourcing of FSC-certified fiber for its paper products.
Environmental organizations including Greenpeace Canada
and NRDC
continue to be strong supporters of FSC. Recognizing that this is no time for
“business as usual,” Greenpeace Canada supports FSC Canada’s new responsible
forest management standard, as it uniquely protects Indigenous rights, local
communities and wildlife.
