FSC Finland is responsible for updating FSC’s Finnish forest management (FM) standard. This standard is the result of negotiations between the economic, environmental and social chambers, and it entered into force in 2011. Since then, approximately 1 070 000 hectares have been FSC-certified in Finland, and the numbers are growing.
FSC Finland - the Association for Responsible Forestry has a Board of Directors consisting of a chairperson and two members from each chamber. Each member also has a personal deputy. The chairperson and board members are elected in the annual meeting of the association. The General Secretary of FSC Finland acts as the secretary of the Board.
FSC Finland currently also has two working groups: the standard working group and the controlled wood working group.
