Upholding Integrity within FSC

FSC’s reputation as the world’s most trusted responsible forest certification system must be continuously reinforced through the rigorous maintenance of system integrity. 

Since the 2017 General Assembly, system integrity continues to be a key strategic goal for FSC. In this side event, the systems integrity team will highlight not only the breadth of tools being implemented and relied upon to protect the integrity of FSC, but also the success stories – including the ending of the disassociation processes, the ongoing emphasis on social and environment remedies, and the supply chain integrity project focused on preventing and mitigating fraudulent claims.
