Environmental groups, forward-thinking companies, and social interest groups concerned about the destruction of the world’s forests come together to form the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). FSC’s goal was and is to promote environmentally and socially responsible forest management practices globally. FSC’s governance system is organized into three chambers with equal power—an environmental chamber concerned with protecting forest ecosystems, an economic chamber concerned with making a profit from forest products, and a social chamber concerned with human and worker rights.
