FSC Ireland is structured and administered according to procedures laid down in its M&AoA and the Companies Act (1963). FSC Ireland is a membership organisation - everything is decided by members. All interested parties are welcome to join. Any interested person can also register to give formal comment on drafts of the Irish forest management standard.

FSC is a unique organisation in that it brings together interested people and organisations with widely divergent interests and views. In order to ensure positive and productive collaboration the IFCI Steering Committee uses ground rules and a professional facilitator.

Organisational documents and minutes are available to all interested parties. Click here for a full list of documents and meeting minutes to download.
