Forest Stewardship Council^®

Both green building standards and environmentally conscious customer require independent third party assurance that fabricators use wood harvested from responsibly managed forests. Great Northern Lumber was the first Chicago based manufacturer to secure a FSC^® chain-of-custody certificate through SGS in 2010.

The Forest Stewardship Council^® (FSC^®) is an international organization that promotes responsible stewardship of the world’s forests.

Chain-of Custody (CoC) Certification sets guidelines for this industry, in buying, storing, remanufacturing, and selling FSC^® certified products ensuring their credibility.
