Forest Certification Schemes

For the purposes of Green Star, forest certification is relevant only to timber and timber products that are claimed within the 'Timber' credit, and for fitout products containing certified timber components claimed in Material Calculatorcredits.

GBCA Recognised Forest Certification Schemes

Forest Certification Schemes that are accredited by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) International or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) are recognised by the GBCA as compliant with the GBCA Essential Criteria for evaluating forest certification schemes. The Green Star 'Timber' credit seeks to ensure the use of legally sourced timber. Specifying timber that is sourced from a FSC or PEFC accredited scheme may contribute to the achievement of one point in the credit.

FSC Australia is the Australian provider of FSC certification.
