What is FSC & COC?
Established in 1994, the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is currently the world’s most trusted sustainable forest management solution. It is a non-profit organization that sets certain high standards to ensure that forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible and socially beneficial manner.
Today, large companies such as Target and IKEA are becoming increasingly concerned about our planet. By 2020, they are planning to only use materials that are FSC® certified.
Two types of key components are required to obtain FSC® certification: Forest Management & Chain of Custody. Environmentally, socially, and locally, Lestari Group has met the highest standards and can obtain the certification.
10 Principles of FSC©
- Compliance with laws
- Workers’ rights and employment conditions

Why is it important?
In our current world where global warming is developing into a serious problem, FSC® certification is becoming more and more important to help reduce illegal logging and create more sustainable forestry. FSC® provides transparency and traceability of the production as all FSC® certified products can be traced back to where it came from, including its country of origin and the tree from which the product is produced. By buying these products, consumers are helping and supporting companies that want to help this planet become greener again. FSC® systems also allow businesses and consumers to identify, purchase, and use wood products that are made from well-managed forests.
Lestari Group has been implementing FSC® in the workplace since 1999 for XIP, 2008 for LMB, 2016 for SHR, and 2019 for PT LMB. All local woods such as Pulai and Jabon produced from our plantations are FSC 100% certified.
Trees produce oxygen and store carbon dioxide. Without trees, life on earth is impossible. Preserving the forests where these trees live in is important due to the deforestation that is happening at an escalating rate.
