Morse Company is certified by SmartWood to display the FSC trademark
where certified materials are used in a project. Forest Stewardship
Council (FSC) is a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging
the responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC
standards ensure that forestry is practiced in an environmentally
responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable way.
Independent certification organizations like SmartWood are accredited
by FSC to carry out assessments of forest management to determine
if standards have been met. These certifiers also verify that
companies claiming to sell FSC certified products have tracked
their supply back to FSC certified sources. This chain of custody
certification assures that consumers can trust the FSC label.
