A UNIT of Sarawak timber giant, Samling, is now being investigated by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) after the Bonn-based organisation accepted the complaint filed by several civil society groups last October that there was “sufficient evidence” regarding violation of FSC policies.
The FSC is an international non-profit, multi-stakeholder organisation established in 1993 that promotes responsible management of the world’s forests via timber certification.
