FSC Search

All companies that have FSC Chain-of-Custody certification can be found using FSC Search. Note however that just because a company has a CoC certificate does not mean that they actively trade FSC certified wood, or that the wood on offer is FSC certified. Be sure to confirm that products are certified if using this method to identify potential suppliers. Such confirmation is made through checking ‘claims’ on invoices (e.g., FSC 100%, FSC Mix Credit) and/or on-product labels. See the Option 2 Certified Wood model spec below for more detailed instructions.

CEU Program

FSC has an AIA-approved course for building professionals that offers continuing education units (CEUs), specifically 1 Learning Unit|Health, Safety, and Welfare. This course goes in-depth on the different FSC labels and sourcing.

  • It can be accessed on-demand at no cost through GreenCE
  • For firm-wide live, remote Lunch & Learn-style presentations, contact Jonathan Reese, above, for scheduling.
