FSC to release improved trademark license agreement
The revised and improved license agreement for the FSC certification scheme will initially be implemented with a pilot phase, starting early in the 2Q 2020 in Brazil, China, Germany, Russia and the United States before being extended to other countries later in the year.

FSC disassociates from the Brazilian forestry company, Jari Group
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has disassociated from the Brazilian forestry company, Jari Group (Jari), after an investigation carried out by an independent panel of environmental, social and economic experts concluded that the company had breached FSC’s Policy for Association.

FSC’s Policy for Association specifies six unacceptable activities that companies are required to avoid, including illegal logging or the trade in illegal wood or... Continue reading
