FSC®certification
Forests occupy one-third of the land area of the earth, but their area is decreasing year by year and has become a major problem at the world level.
The main causes are random logging, illegal logging, and large-scale conversion to unplanned farmland and plantations.
Under such circumstances, appropriate forest management for the purpose of sustainable forest utilization and conservation is required.
FSC®: Forest Stewardship Council® was established in 1993 against the background of such problems.
The FSC® certification system evaluates and certifies whether forest management is properly carried out in consideration of the environment and local communities.
It proves that it is a product from such forests.
By selecting FSC® certified products, consumers support foresters and regions that perform appropriate forest management, and use their products as raw materials.
It will instruct the companies and businesses that use it, which will lead to forest conservation throughout the world.
There are two types of FSC® forest certification, FM certification and CoC certification, both of which require proper management.
FM certification (forest management certification)

CoC approval (management of processing and distribution process)
Forest Management Certification
