Forest management standards
We offer FSC® and PEFC forest management certification
In countries where an FSC® approved Forest Stewardship Standard for forest management has not yet been developed, Soil Association Certification's Generic Forestry Standard (ST-FM-001) can be adapted to account for local conditions with input from local stakeholders. These adapted standards remain open for comment and are publicly available below.
