FSC Certification: Is It Worth It?
“As time goes on, if you don’t have that continued push to really follow through with it, it gets pushed to the back burner,” he says. He worries that the current FSC frenzy may follow that same path.
Those in-plants that have the certification, though, find it hard to imagine their commitment fading. Unlike with ISO, FSC certification is not linked to bringing in business, but to supporting the sustainable goals of their parent organizations—and by all signs, the modern environmental movement is just getting started. The more an in-plant can do to support its parent organization’s commitment, the more successful the in-plant will be.
