FSC strengthens presence in China

12 February, 2010

The Forest Stewardship Council’s presence in China has been strengthened by the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Certification and Accreditation Administration of China (CNCA).

The MOU will foster stronger collaboration between the two organisations to promote forest certification in China. It highlights information exchange, training, technical collaboration and co-ordination in the development of certification standards.

More than 1.3 million ha of forest in China is FSC certified and over 1,250 companies have FSC chain of custody certification.
