Forest certification has the aim of ensuring that the forests are managed in a sustainable way. In Europe and North America this is additional to existing legal frameworks and places further requirements on the industry. One of the most important certification schemes is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). FSC is an independent organisation founded in Toronto in 1993, on the initiative of environmentalorganisations from 25 countries.
The key advantages
Among certifying institutions FSC has the strictest criteria for ecological forest treatment and the monitoring of these criteria is performed directly in the forests. The FSC approach is global, it also takes responsibility in the developing countries. As the only organisation having social criteria, it recognises that ecological problems also arise due to human problems. Therefore FSC is accepted by environmental organisations all over the world.

A range of FSC certified papers
The number of our certified products has increased since 2003 when our first Munken paper quality was certified. Since then we have worked further to FSC certify both coated and uncoated papers and can today offer our customers a complete range of certified products. The availability of certified pulp is still limited and we are working actively to increase continuous deliveries. Today are all standard qualities of Amber, Arctic and Munken available as FSC certified.
