Movements Toward Responsible Timber Sourcing
Many retailers use “procurement policies” to define and guide their wood sourcing decisions...Most of these policies endorse outside forest management standards as a means of reaching this goal; perhaps the best known of these is the Forest Stewardship Council, or FSC...alternate schemes represent an intermediate step for regions and suppliers who, for external political and economic reasons, are not yet ready for FSC.
