I-FSC imele iForest Stewardship Council, okuyinhlangano yamazwe ngamazwe engenzi nzuzo ekhuthaza ukuphathwa ngendlela efanele kwamahlathi omhlaba.I-FSC ihlinzeka ngohlelo lwesitifiketi oluqinisekisa ukuthi amahlathi aphethwe ngendlela ehlangabezana nezindinganiso eziqinile zezemvelo, ezenhlalo, nezomnotho.

I-FSC isebenza nabahlukahlukene ababambiqhaza, okuhlanganisa abanikazi nabaphathi bamahlathi, amabhizinisi asebenzisa imikhiqizo yamahlathi, izinhlangano ezingekho ngaphansi kukahulumeni (ama-NGO), kanye nabantu bomdabu, ukukhuthaza izinqubo zokuphatha amahlathi ezinomthwalo wemfanelo.I-FSC iphinde ithuthukise futhi ikhuthaze izixazululo ezisekelwe ezimakethe ezikhuthaza ukukhiqizwa nokudayiswa kwemikhiqizo yamahlathi etholakala ngokufanele, njengamaphepha, ifenisha, nezinto zokwakha.

Isitifiketi se-FSC saziwa emhlabeni wonke futhi sithathwa njengezinga legolide lokuphathwa kwehlathi okunesibopho.Ilebula ye-FSC emkhiqizweni ikhombisa ukuthi ukhuni, iphepha, noma eminye imikhiqizo yehlathi esetshenziselwe ukwenza umkhiqizo itholwe ngendlela efanele nokuthi inkampani ebhekele umkhiqizo ihlolwe ngokuzimela ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthotshelwa kwezindinganiso ze-FSC.The Forest Stewardship Council ( FSC) yinhlangano engenzi nzuzo ekhuthaza ukuphathwa kwamahlathi okunomthwalo wemfanelo futhi ebeka amazinga ezinqubo eziqhubekayo zamahlathi.Isitifiketi se-FSC yindinganiso eyaziwa emhlabeni wonke eqinisekisa ukuthi imikhiqizo eyenziwe ngokhuni nephepha ivela emahlathini aphethwe ngendlela efanele.Nazi ezinye zezizathu ezibalulekile zokuthi kungani isitifiketi se-FSC sibalulekile:

Ukuvikelwa Kwemvelo: Isitifiketi se-FSC siqinisekisa ukuthi izinqubo zokuphatha amahlathi ezisetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza izinkuni nemikhiqizo yephepha zinesibopho semvelo.Amahlathi aqinisekiswe yi-FSC kumele ahlangabezane nezindinganiso eziqinile zemvelo ezivikela umhlabathi, amanzi, nezindawo zezilwane zasendle.

Ukuzibophezela Komphakathi: Isitifiketi se-FSC siphinde siqinisekise ukuthi izinqubo zokuphatha amahlathi zihlonipha amalungelo abantu bomdabu nabasebenzi, kanye nemiphakathi yendawo.Lokhu kuhlanganisa izinqubo zabasebenzi ezinobulungisa, ukwabelana ngenzuzo ngokulinganayo, nokuzibandakanya komphakathi ezinqumweni zokuphathwa kwamahlathi.

Ukubonakala Kwe-Supply Chain: Isitifiketi se-FSC sihlinzeka ngokusobala kwe-supply chain, okuvumela abathengi ukuthi balandele umsuka wokhuni noma iphepha elisetshenziswa emkhiqizweni.Lokhu kusiza ukukhuthaza ukuziphendulela nokuvimbela ukugawulwa kwemithi okungekho emthethweni nokugawulwa kwamahlathi.

Ukuhlangabezana Nezidingo Zabathengi: Ukuqinisekiswa kwe-FSC sekubaluleke kakhulu njengoba abathengi baqaphela kakhulu umthelela wemvelo wezinqumo zabo zokuthenga.Isitifiketi se-FSC sinikeza abathengi isiqinisekiso sokuthi imikhiqizo abayithengayo yenziwa emahlathini aphethwe ngendlela efanele.

Inzuzo Yokuncintisana: Isitifiketi se-FSC singanikeza futhi inzuzo yokuncintisana kumabhizinisi, ikakhulukazi lawo asemkhakheni wemikhiqizo yamaphepha neyokhuni.Izinkampani eziningi zenza isibopho sokusebenzisa izinto ezisimeme, futhi isitifiketi se-FSC singasiza amabhizinisi ahlangabezane nalezi zidingo futhi azehlukanise nezimbangi.

Kafushane, isitifiketi se-FSC sibalulekile ekukhuthazeni ukuphathwa kwamahlathi okunesibopho, ukuvikela indawo ezungezile, ukuqinisekisa ukubophezeleka komphakathi, ukuhlinzeka ngokusobala kwe-supply chain, ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zabathengi, kanye nokuthola inzuzo yokuncintisana.Ngokukhetha imikhiqizo eqinisekisiwe ye-FSC, amabhizinisi angabonisa ukuzibophezela kwawo ekusimameni nasezinkambisweni zokuthola izinto ezinomthwalo wemfanelo, futhi abathengi bangenza izinqumo zokuthenga benolwazi oluthe xaxa.
