Growing demands on FSC Certificates

More and more companies producing or trading wood and paper-based products are approached by their customers with the need to purchase FSC certified products. Several retail store chains operating in Hungary have been expecting their suppliers the existence of FSC Certificate. At present, we find on the market that it is difficult to sell timber or wood products in Western Europe without FSC Certificate.

This is due to the increasing commitment to sustainability among large companies, including those enshrined in EU legislation. To prove this, one of the first steps is to convey sustainability needs to suppliers.

What is FSC?

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is an international certification system whose primary objective is responsible forest management. To this end, standards have been established and a trademark has been established for companies that comply with the rules on responsible forest management and the traceability of products derived from it.

Buyers of FSC branded products can be sure that the raw material of the trademarked product has been extracted from responsibly cultivated forests, because such a trademark can only be applied to the product by an FSC certified company if it has introduced FSC system and it had been certified.

How to get FSC certification?

If your company needs FSC Certificate, you need to make a decision on introduction of FSC system. Requirements for this can be found on the FSC website in the form of various standards. If your organization sees, for example, that you have a good chance of obtaining certification after an internal audit, you may want to contact a certification body authorised to issue a FSC Certificate. They may issue it for five years if the company conducts successful FSC audits annually. As a result, the organization can sell its products under the FSC claim or trademark.

However, most companies do not have the spare capacity to understand the wealth of information on the FSC website and apply the FSC system implementation requirements to the organization. That's why almost all companies that need FSC certification asks for FSC consultancy. This is because applying FSC system requirements available on the FSC website is usually not an easy task. Application of FSC consultancy is much faster and safer to obtain FSC certification than with your own resources alone.
