FSC Policy for Association drafts released for first consultation
June 23, 2015
The first revised draft of the Policy for Association of Organizations with FSC (FSC-POL-01-004) is ready for consultation, accompanied by discussion drafts for the two supplementary procedures that put the policy into practice: the Due Diligence Evaluation for the Association with FSC (FSC-PRO-10-004) and the Proactive FSC Policy for Association Evaluation (proposed new mechanism).
All related information can be found here.
The FSC Policy for Association has become a core document in the FSC system, aimed at protecting the reputation of FSC, and all entities associated with it, by acting as a safeguard against organizations involved in unacceptable activities.
All organizations associated with FSC agree to avoid certain activities – both in FSC-certified operations and in non-certified operations – that would represent a danger to the credibility of FSC, its members, and all entities associated with it. The FSC Policy for Association is vitally important to maintaining the strength and credibility of our system.
Stakeholder input into this revision process is essential for a successful outcome, so please take some time to share your perspectives with FSC International.
The consultation runs until August 10, 2015.
