FSC Risk Assessments

FSC Risk Assessments assess the risk of sourcing material from supply areas and establish mitigation measures to address those identified risks. Companies can use the mitigation measures from the assessment or propose their own mitigation measures that are considered more effective and fit to their context. The risk assessment is a document that contains indicators covering several key requirements for FSC such as High Conservation Values, human and labour rights, environmental protection, among others.

FSC Risk Assessment Framework

FSC-PRO-60-006b FSC Risk Assessment Framework provides a comprehensive tool for companies to assess and mitigate risks of sourcing forest materials.

With 64 indicators for social and environmental protections, FSC’s Risk Assessment Framework is aligned with EUDR regulatory requirements to ensure responsible sourcing. The next generation of FSC’s existing risk assessments for controlled wood sourcing will be based on this updated framework.
