«Russian Forest» association - a member of FSC Russia

The «Russian Forest» National Association of Timber Industry became a member of the FSC Russia. This decision was made at a meeting of the FSC Russia Coordinating Council in June 2021.

The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) is an international non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting responsible forest management around the world.

Currently, FSC Russia has over 75 members (legal entities and individuals) belonging to three chambers: social, environmental and economic. «Russian Forest» association entered the economic chamber, but plans to make its contribution also in social and environmental areas.

«Promoting the principle of responsible forest management is one of the priority tasks of the Association. This vector coincides with the activities of FSC, so joining forces is a logical step for our organizations. Together we will be able to work more effectively on the agenda of sustainable development and responsible forest management», - comments the vice-president of the Association Andrey Goncharov.

The Russian national office of FSC is represented by the «National Working Group on Voluntary Forest Certification» Association («NRG» Association). The organization has a cooperation agreement with FSC International, according to which it represents the interests and is the national partner of FSC in Russia (in the status of the FSC national office).
