Forestry Stewardship Council

The FSC or Forest Stewardship Council is an international organization promoting responsible stewardship of the world’s forests through certificates for forest management and chain of custody administered by third party auditors. The council was created to change the dialogue about and the practice of sustainable forestry. The FSC establishes principles, criteria, and standards that span economic, social, and environmental concerns. Thus, FSC is not just affect sustainable harvesting techniques to help nature, but the communities within that environment as well. We at Eco-Living In Style applaud them for these efforts.
Our aim at Eco-Living In Style is to offer furniture manufactured by companies that source their wood from FSC certified suppliers. We have rejected requests to carry many product lines because they could not provide us with a chain of custody ensuring that the lumber was sustainably harvested or how it’s harvesting affects the human culture around it. Eco-Living In Style is becoming a member of FSC and invites you to visit their site at www.fsc.org.
