We’re proud to reveal CLIMADOOR is now FSC® Certified, stocking a range of FSC certified doors. But what is the FSC certification? Who needs to be FSC certified? And why should you choose products displaying the FSC label? Dive into this handy guide and shop with total confidence. 

The FSC nurtures forests and the people who depend on them

Think about all the wooden products within your home. Now take a moment to consider where they come from.

The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council®) is an organisation that makes sure the world’s forests are looked after for future generations. They’ve set out a set of standards to ensure forests are managed with environmental, social and economic factors in mind.

The FSC matters because forests help humanity to thrive

The FSC says: “Forests regulate our climate, clean the air we breathe, and filter the water we drink. They also provide habitat for more than two-thirds of wildlife and plants. They’re one of our most important resources, offering a renewable supply of the materials and goods we need for a more sustainable future.” Discover why healthy forests are vital here.

The FSC label helps us make better purchasing decisions for our planet

These days, more and more of us are trying to make good choices when it comes to how we spend our money. In fact, 86% of people prefer products that don’t harm plants or animals. Because of this, you might be asking “How do I know if my wood is FSC certified?”. All it takes to know for sure is one simple action: look for the FSC label before you buy. It’s a tree with a check mark inside it, surrounded by a globe. Easy peasey.

You can shop from an FSC database filled with forest-friendly brands

Is FSC certification mandatory? No, it’s not a legal requirement. So, if you’ve made the decision to shop more ethically, it can be difficult to figure out where to begin. Luckily, the FSC database makes it easy to choose from thousands of certified brands. From furniture and fashion to beauty and stationary, you’re sure to find lots of new favourites. Remember, when you choose a product with an FSC label you’re saying that forests matter.

There are different levels of FSC certification

Now for the important bit. Is FSC wood really sustainable? There’s an easy way to tell. Brands can apply for three different types of label: FSC 100%, FSC Mix and FSC Recycled. This makes it simpler for companies to be totally transparent so that you can make the right decision for you. Find out about each label here.
