System Integrity
FSC provides organizations and consumers worldwide with the confirmation that the forest products they buy and sell come from sustainably managed resources. The credibility of FSC certification rests on the integrity and robustness of this system.
What is system integrity?
System integrity is an important area of work for FSC, through which we ensure that the certification system is protected from certificate holders who violate certification standards or FSC’s Policy for Association. Organizations who are found to have to have violated any of FSC's standards or policies face serious consequences.
Our system integrity processes are based on the following core underlying principles:
- Assertively deal with organizations that don't conform to the provisions of FSC's normative documents
- In the context of an ever-growing certification system, explore new and innovative technology-enabled tools to:
- Ensure that the robustness of FSC's system integrity is maintained at lower costs
- Find more efficient and effective ways of detecting and managing risks in the system
