MONTREAL – FSC Canada today published the second version of its National Forest Management Standard, emanating from intense public and stakeholder consultation over 2016. FSC Canada’s forest management standard revision process was undertaken to ensure the continued reliability and quality of its certification system, and that it meets the current needs of members and certificate holders throughout the country. “Our role as leaders in forestry certification is to meet the social, ecological, and economic rights and needs of the present generation without compromising those of future generations. In order to do so, it was imperative to update our certification standards to the changing realities of the forestry sector in the 21st century,” explains François Dufresne, President of FSC Canada, “We’re extremely proud of the work that our team has accomplished throughout this past year.”
