What is FSC?
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a global non-profit organisation dedicated to protecting the world's forests through responsible forest management certification. Recognisable by its distinctive "tick-tree" logo found on millions of products worldwide, FSC provides trusted solutions to help combat deforestation, climate change, and biodiversity loss. When customers see FSC-certified diaries and notebooks, they can be confident their purchase supports sustainable forestry practices.
FSC's mission centres on promoting environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of forests around the world. Their pioneering certification system covers more than 160 million hectares of forest globally, enabling both businesses and consumers to make responsible choices when purchasing wood, paper, and other forest products. For your diaries and notebooks, this means the paper has been sourced according to strict environmental, social, and economic standards.
FSC forest management certification ensures forests are managed to preserve biological diversity, benefit local communities and workers, and maintain economic viability. Any forest operation must adhere to ten comprehensive principles before receiving certification, covering everything from maintaining high conservation values to community relations and workers' rights. The FSC chain of custody certification verifies that certified materials remain separated from non-certified materials throughout the supply chain—from forest to finished product.
Our FSC-Certified Products
FSC Mix:
All forest-based materials in our products bearing the FSC Mix label come from responsible sources. These materials are either from FSC-certified forests, verified as recycled, or classed as controlled wood. While controlled wood isn't from FSC-certified forests, this classification mitigates the risk of materials originating from unacceptable sources, ensuring ethical sourcing throughout our supply chain.
FSC Recycled:
Our products featuring the FSC Recycled label contain forest-based materials that have been verified as 100% recycled. These materials come from either post-consumer or pre-consumer reclaimed sources, significantly reducing environmental impact and supporting circular economy principles. By choosing our FSC Recycled diaries and notebooks, customers actively participate in reducing waste and promoting resource conservation.
