Current Policy and Standards Processes

FSC develops new and reviews existing policy and standards on a regular basis. This process involves wide consultation with stakeholders. 

The FSC standard-setting process is transparent, democratic and inclusive with many opportunities for the public to participate. It is this process that has allowed FSC to become an important and recognized forum where innovative solutions have become possible with the support of all stakeholders interested in forestry issues.

This section gives you an overview of all current policy review and development processes.
