What is the Forest Stewardship Council?
FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not for profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.
 
It provides standard setting, trademark assurance and accreditation services for companies and organizations interested in responsible forestry.
 
Products carrying the FSC label are independently certified to assure consumers that they come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations.
FSC has offices in more than 45 countries.

There are so many labels. Why should
I buy FSC? Trying to do the right thing and buying responsibly produced products can be confusing. The FSC label makes it easy to make the right choice when buying timber or paper products. Here is why choosing FSC makes a difference:

Only FSC

Prohibits conversion of natural forests or other habitat around the world

Prohibits the use of highly hazardous pesticides around the world

prohibits the cultivation of genetically modified trees (GMOs)
 
Respects the right of indigenous peoples around the world

Controls each certified operation at least once a year – and if they are found not to comply, the certificate is withdrawn

What is LEED®?
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustainable green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally understood and accepted tools and performance criteria.

LEED is a third-party certification program and the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. LEED gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance. LEED promotes a whole-building approach to sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

Who uses LEED?
Architects, real estate professionals, facility managers, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects, construction managers, lenders and government officials all use LEED to help transform the built environment to sustainability. State and local governments across the country are adopting LEED for public-owned and public-funded buildings; there are LEED initiatives in federal agencies, including the Departments of Defense, Agriculture, Energy, and State; and LEED projects are in progress in 41 different countries, including Canada, Brazil, Mexico and India.
