Revised draft FSC policy to avoid greenwashing open for public comment
12 February 2008
The FSC has launched a revised draft version of its Policy for the Association with FSC (Version 3-0 of FSC-POL-20-002). It is open for public comments until 31 March 2008.
The main purpose of the policy is to avoid ’greenwashing’ by companies who have only parts of their operations certified, while engaging in unacceptable activities such as illegal logging in other parts of their business. As such, it addresses a long-standing concern expressed by many of FSC’s supporters.
