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.

Sustainable Furnishings Council

Eco-Living In Style has joined the Sustainable Furnishings Council. The council was formed in 2006 to promote sustainable practices among manufacturers, retailers, and consumers alike. As many of you, by now, know of our goals as a company, Eco-Living In Style was more than eager to join the council. Their goal is to help us all make greener choices in our production methods, sales tactics, and purchasing trends. If you want to learn more about how to make greener purchases as a consumer I encourage you to visit their website and learn about what makes furniture eco-friendly. We will provide links from the SFC as they update the site with new information as well.
