FSC.

FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council. It's an independent certification for wood and paper products. It guarantees that the raw materials come from responsibly managed forests. With attention to ecology, local communities and fair labor conditions throughout the chain.

why it matters.

Cardboard seems harmless. But paper and wood have an origin. That origin determines whether forests disappear, communities are harmed, or ecosystems come under pressure. FSC makes that origin traceable and checkable. Not based on what a producer claims itself, but based on independent verification.

what the certificate covers.

• Responsible forest management as a condition for certification
• Protection of biodiversity, water resources and natural ecosystems
• Fair labor conditions and rights of local communities
• Fully traceable chain from tree to end product
• Independent annual audits

the packaging.

For us, FSC applies to the packaging, not the clothing itself. The outer packaging every order ships in is FSC-certified cardboard. Produced in Europe. No plastic where it isn't needed. No unnecessary layers.
