From forests to the final consumers, products need to undergo several processes such as production, processing and sale.

FSC^® chain of custody certification verifies that FSC^® certified materials are identical and keep separated from non-certified materials throughout the chain by tracking the product from the forest to the supply chain. All enterprises in the supply chain, including logging companies, factories, manufacturers, wholesalers, printers, retailers and anyone with forest products ownership before the final consumer, need to go through the FSC^® certification process before acquiring FSC^® certification mark or advertising FSC^® certification product.

The Chain of custody approach ensures that consumers buy FSC^® certified products from responsible enterprises. As for the FSC^® certified products purchased by final consumers, each company who owns the forest product materials is going to be FSC^® certified. FSC^® certified products have FSC^® certificate codes, which show the products come from managed forests, controlled sources, recycled materials or the combination of the above three, thus providing reliable assurance for customers and final-users. FSC^® certification marks help you maintain your brand reputation and help you successfully advance into the market that highly values environmental protection.
