Principle 1 of the FSC Principles and Criteria requires compliance with all applicable laws and is verified by certification bodies. This and the accreditation control mechanisms ensure that FSC is not unwillingly certifying illegal logging. Furthermore, FSC is constantly monitoring our performance and develop the FSC system further to deal with particular difficult or new issues.
