El FSC ha establecido un sistema de certificación que requiere del apoyo de diversos terceros para operarlo en el terreno, mantener la independencia e integridad y, en última instancia asegurar el manejo sostenible de los bosques del mundo.
The annual administration fee (AAF) is a fee charged by FSC to accredited certification bodies. The AAF for chain of custody certification is calculated according to the AAF policy using the value of certificate holders’ forest products turnover in the certification body’s portfolio.
The majority of FSC’s income comes from the AAF and is used to fund FSC’s activities. As such, the AAF is a vital contributor to achieving FSC’s mission of Forests for All Forever.
