Sustainable Forestry

Healthy forests are not only essential for the long-term sustainability of forest resources, but for the many ecosystem services they support, such as soil retention, carbon sequestration, flood protection, habitat health, and water filtration and quality. A variety of certification programs and labels have emerged to drive responsible forest management and support markets for products derived from well-managed forests. SCS is one of the world’s leading providers of third-party certification in the forest products industry, operating from a position of deep knowledge and professionalism.
