FSC CoC (Chain of Custody) refers to the certification process established by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to ensure that forest-based products are responsibly sourced, tracked, and verified throughout the supply chain. It is a critical part of promoting sustainable forest management and responsible consumption.

1. Traceability: Ensures that FSC-certified materials are tracked from the forest to the final product.
2. Transparency: Provides assurance to consumers that products bearing the FSC label come from responsibly managed forests.
3. Control Systems: Businesses must implement systems to segregate FSC-certified products from non-certified products.
4. Documentation: Accurate record-keeping of volumes and sources of materials.
5. Labeling: Products can display the FSC label only if the entire supply chain is FSC-certified.

• FSC 100%: Products entirely from FSC-certified forests.
• FSC Mix: Products with a mix of FSC-certified, recycled, and controlled wood.
• FSC Recycled: Products made from 100% recycled material.

• Market Access: Many buyers, especially in international markets, require FSC certification.
• Brand Reputation: Demonstrates a commitment to sustainability.
• Regulatory Compliance: Helps meet legal and environmental requirements.
• Consumer Trust: Builds confidence among consumers who prefer sustainable products.
