FSC has been recognized in Sustainability Magazine as one of the Top 10 Sustainability Associations. The recognition reflects the impact of the work that FSC passionately undertakes each day to advance responsible forest management.

Associations focused on sustainability exist to guide leaders in organisations and governments to a better future.

Often, they bring together businesses, politicians and academics to support collaboration and real-word changes.

The scale of this collective action, and knowledge sharing it brings, can make impactful changes happen quickly.

Associations can also help to educate, engage and empower communities on the journey to net zero.
