El Consejo Directivo del Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) ha decidido celebrar la Asamblea General del FSC en la Ciudad de Panamá, Panamá, del 26 al 31 de octubre de 2025.
Recientemente la BBC presentó un reportaje sobre acusaciones contra el Korindo Group (Korindo) concernientes a sus operaciones de palmas aceiteras en Indonesia. El reportaje hacía referencia a las medidas tomadas por el Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) después de una queja de la Política para la Asociación con el FSC formulada contra Korindo en 2017.
El proceso de presentación de mociones ya está en marcha y, con la fecha límite del 31 de enero de 2025 cada vez más cerca, queremos destacar las cuestiones clave de gobernanza que se beneficiarían de las enmiendas estatutarias e invitarles a colaborar para abordarlas.
De acuerdo con FSC-PRO-01-001, esta fase conceptual permite a los miembros del FSC y a otros grupos de interés contribuir al desarrollo de conceptos clave y a la formulación de los resultados clave previstos de los requisitos al inicio del proceso y antes de que se establezcan los grupos de trabajo.
El FSC desempeña un papel importante en la lucha contra dos desafíos mundiales interrelacionados, el cambio climático y la pérdida de biodiversidad, promoviendo el manejo forestal responsable, incluida la conservación y la restauración, y ofreciendo soluciones para un futuro más sostenible y resiliente.
This guide is intended for organizations that wish to use the FSC trademarks for the promotion of FSC-certified labelled products or services and it replaces the FSC-STD-50-002 'Requirements for promotional use of the FSC trademarks by non-certificate holders' that was withdrawn on 31st May 2020.
Depending on when the unacceptable activity occurs/occurred, FSC will determine which policy version is used as the point of reference. If the unacceptable activity occurred prior to 2023, version 2-0 of the policy will be applied, whereas if the unacceptable activity occurs in 2023 or beyond, version 3-0 of the Policy for Association will be applied. To access Policy for Association, version 2-0, click here . The Policy for Association is an expression of the values shared by individuals and organizations associated with FSC. It defines six unacceptable activities that associated individuals and organizations and their corporate group commit to avoid in both certified and non-certified operations. The Policy for Association serves as a risk management tool for FSC, protecting the credibility and reputation of the FSC brand and organizations associated with it.
The objective of this standard is to provide the requirements for FSC-accredited certification bodies to assess conformity of The Organization against applicable requirements of the FSC normative
framework with regards to forest management certification, as well as reporting and decision making.

The objective of this document is to specify the requirements for FSC-accredited certification bodies for developing Interim National Standard (INS) or Interim Regional Standard (IRS), depending on the geographic scope of the standard, for the certification of responsible forest management and the responsible management of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) at the Management Unit (MU) level. These standards shall be based on the International Generic Indicators (IGI) and shall address the regional, national or sub-national conditions in which they are to be used and shall consider input from local stakeholders. The FSC Board of Directors at FSC International, acting through the Policy Steering Group (PSG) shall approve Interim National Standards (INS) before they can be used for FSC certification purposes. In March 2020 the revised procedure was published to reflect the FSC Board of Directors’ decision during their 82nd meeting to delegate the approval of INS to the Policy Steering Group.
