At Incado, we take responsibility for the environment. We are passionate about advising and inspiring to make every home interesting and personal through wall decorations. We set ambitious goals to create a sustainable business model that considers the environment  (FSC® C186933).

ABOUT FSC® CERTIFICATION

FSC® stands for "Forest Stewardship Council®." FSC® is a non-profit organization that promotes responsible forest management through certifications of forests, companies, and products. A labeling scheme for wood, paper, and other cellulose-based materials, supported by recognized NGOs such as WWF and World Wildlife Fund.

The goal is to collectively create a better future for the world's forests, ensuring no more trees are cut than the forest can reproduce. Forest workers should have access to education, safety equipment, and fair wages. A world where we care for our forests and manage them sustainably.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES FSC® MAKE?

In FSC®-Certified forests, the forest area remains the same from generation to generation. FSC® contributes to solving challenges that forests face concerning social conditions, worker rights, biodiversity, endangered species, water quality, and deforestation. In FSC®-Certified forests, the forest owner must protect natural values, such as rare and endangered animal species and their habitats.

FSC® fosters collaborative solutions, where social and environmental organizations collaborate with industries and forest owners to find socially and environmentally responsible ways to manage forests. Together, we can slow climate change and ensure vibrant forests for future generations.

FSC® contributes to 14 of the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals and directly supports 40 different subgoals through its social, economic, and environmental requirements for responsible forest management.

FSC® CONTROL SYSTEM

We are FSC® certified (FSC® C186933). This means we are subject to a control and traceability system that ensures FSC®-certified products consist only of materials from FSC®-certified forests along with other responsible materials.
