Allegra Carol Stream is FCS Certified

Who is FSC?

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), is a global, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world's forests. Established in 1993, FSC was created in response to concerns about deforestation, environmental degradation, and social issues related to forest management. Its mission is to ensure that forests around the world are managed in an environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable manner.

What is an FSC certification?

One of FSC's key functions is providing a certification system that allows consumers and businesses to identify and purchase products from responsibly managed forests. FSC certification is available for forest management, chain of custody, and controlled wood. Forest management certification is awarded to businesses that adhere to FSC's principles and criteria, which cover aspects such as environmental impact, workers' rights, and community engagement. Chain of custody certification ensures that FSC-certified materials are tracked through every stage of production, from the forest to the final product. Controlled wood certification is for materials that are mixed with FSC-certified wood and ensure that these materials come from acceptable sources.
