FSC（The Forest Stewardship Council），即森林管理評價委員會，是由世界自然基金會組織發起的一個非盈利的國際組織，其宗旨就是聯合全世界的人們一起解決因不正當採伐而造成的森林損壞，並提倡負責任的管理和開發森林，為此，FSC公布了一系列國際標準並在全球森林與木材經營組織中推進這項認證，簡稱FSC認證，該項認證在歐美等發達國家已經被企業和消費者廣泛接納，而在我國則開展不久。
FSC/COC認證即產銷監管鏈認證，是FSC認證的重要一種，是對木材貿易與加工企業從原材料採購、倉儲、生產、到銷售等環節進行鏈狀監管與確認，以確保木材來自於一個已經認證過的森林，也即來自一個優質管理及可持續開發的森林。
FSC認證是世界森林貿易網絡（GFTN）的入會門檻，由於在國外GFTN以及FSC認證已經被廣泛接納，因此獲得FSC認證以及加入GFTN被木材經營界稱為進入全球木材及地板交易圈的綠色通行證。
盡管FSC認證是非強制性的，但是隨著公眾環保意識的增強，FSC認證對於企業經營活動的影響越來越大。一些國際知名的跨國公司為了迎合消費者的環保消費心態，樹立公司的綠色形象，都已聲明要購買和銷售認證產品。如全球家居零售業巨頭--瑞典宜家家居公司 (IKEA) 對其在全球最大的原料採購基地--中國提出了 FSC 認證要求，銷售額高達 400 億美元的美國Home Depot 公司全部銷售認證產品，英國百安居公司年銷售 300 萬立方米木制品，其中認證的比例已達到了 95%。所以安信取得FSC認證也意味著安信的產品取得了進軍國際市場的"通行證"，可以享受歐盟的關稅優惠，並可能被納入發達國家的政府採購範圍。
中國森林貿易網絡是全球森林貿易網絡的組成部分。全球森林貿易網絡是十年前由世界自然基金會發起的，旨在推動負責任的森林產品採購、可持續森林經營和可信賴森林認證的同時，為林產品廠商間的健康貿易搭建平台。
現已加盟全球森林貿易網絡的廠商有四百多家，覆蓋全球亞洲、非洲、歐洲和美洲的三十多個國家和地區。
