About the Forest Stewardship Council
Founded in 1993 by environmental groups, the timber industry, foresters, indigenous peoples and community groups from 25 countries, the FSC promotes globally responsible forest management by certifying forest products that meet strict environmental standards. The organization brings industry, environmentalists, and community groups together to promote practical solutions that meet its diverse stakeholders' needs.
The FSC in the United States is supported by 14 major environmental organizations, including the Nature Conservancy, Worldlife Fund, Sierra Club and by major businesses such as Home Depot, Lowes and Andersen Windows.

The FSC-U.S. office is located in Washington, D.C., and has a national presence through the work if its volunteer board that includes three representatives each from the economic, social and environmental chambers. It also works through its regional standards coordinators and FSC members located throughout the U.S.
The role of the FSC-U.S. is to coordinate the development of forest stewardship standards throughout the country, to provide public information about certification and the FSC, to provide a national dispute resolution mechanism, and to monitor FSC certified organizations to ensure compliance with FSC requirements.
