ATLANTA – Forest Stewardship Council, the world’s most trusted forest certification system, announced its 2019 FSC Leadership Awards in a celebration held in conjunction with Greenbuild 2019. Recognizing enduring commitment to forest conservation, the Awards highlight uncommon excellence that advances responsible forest management.
“From biodiversity and carbon storage to a sustainable supply of wood and fiber, people are waking up to the importance of responsibly managed forests to tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges,” said Corey Brinkema, president of the Forest Stewardship Council U.S. “This year’s FSC Leadership Award winners demonstrate that we can conserve forests, fight climate change and protect wildlife habitat, even as we use forest products every day,” he added.
FSC Leadership Awards celebrate forest owners, builders, architects, retailers, paper mills, manufacturers, environmental organizations and many others who contribute to the movement toward responsible sourcing and forest management. Winners of the 2019 FSC Leadership Awards are as follows:
FSC will be celebrating its 25th anniversary at the FSC Leadership Awards this year, including recognition for organizations that have been certified from its beginning: Collins, Keweenaw Land Association, Menominee Tribal Enterprises, Rumney Mill, Seven Islands Land Company, and Woodcraft Industries.
With new research showing FSC certified forests can store more carbon than those managed conventionally, there is growing interest in FSC as a climate solution. To support construction project teams, FSC launched “Build Greener with FSC,” an online resource for architects, builders and developers with a searchable database to find FSC-certified products.
The 2019 FSC Leadership Awards celebration is being held at the Georgia Aquarium, a short walk from Greenbuild 2019.
