Frequently Asked Questions

What is the FSC label?

FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is a label that means the wood or paper product comes from responsibly managed forests — not from illegal logging or deforestation. When you buy products with the FSC logo (a tree with a checkmark), you're supporting forest protection. Protecting forests protects panda habitat!
