Construction You Can Be
Proud Of With FSC
®
By using FSC wood in construction, you demonstrate the strongest possible commitment to forests, and in doing so, gain significant benefits for your business.
Why FSC
Forests Matter –
And Not All Wood Is the Same.
Forests are key to life. Home to 80% of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity, they filter most of our fresh water and are crucial in mitigating climate change.
As the only certification endorsed by the world's most trusted environmental organizations, the Forest Stewardship Council ensures forests are managed responsibly. Using FSC-certified products allows you to leave a true conservation legacy.

Construction projects come with many difficult challenges, but sourcing FSC doesn’t have to be one of them. FSC®-certified wood products now come in thousands of varieties, species and grades, and our new Supplier Search helps you easily find what you need. Search by product type, availability, location, and more. And the FSC team also stands ready to help you find locally harvested materials and suppliers.
The best part? With more and more forests becoming certified, FSC-certified wood pricing is more competitive than ever. Builders are increasingly sourcing FSC to claim climate and sustainable development benefits, gain green building certifications, and create higher building value. Check out our Supplier Search to see for yourself how easy it can be.
