The Purposes of FSC certiication
1) Stabilize the market share of existing products of the enterprise and create market access conditions for entering new markets.
2) Improve the forest management level of forest management units and promote the sustainable management of forests.
In addition, FSC forest certification can also achieve the following objectives: distinguish products, commercialization of forest services, reduce investment risks, promote participation of stakeholders, obtain financial assistance, and strengthen law enforcement.
