FSC® FM Forest Management Systems Certification

Forest Management Systems Certification Services

FSC FM - Forest Management - certification is a tool aimed to guarantee good forest management, that preserves and develops forest resources over time, in which habitats for wild plants and animals are respected and in which they are applied all those protective functions that the forest carries out in normal conditions towards the climate, soil and water.

"FSC® FM: good environmental management, certified"

Good forest management, according to FSC programs, is also one in which the rights and well-being of workers, populations, forest owners and all those who earn their living in or thanks to a forest are respected, also encouraging local development in the awareness that the well-being and survival of the forest depend on this.

An FSC FM certification:

  • it is a guarantee of good forest management;
  • allows you to work with those public administrations and private companies that ask for products from forests managed according to these programs;
  • allows access to the funds made available by some Regions to favor the responsible management of forest resources.

CSI with the ICILA brand can also issue both FSC and PEFC certifications, allowing companies a single interlocutor and therefore savings on certification costs.
