FSC’s mission is to “promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world's forests”.

This mission is implemented through a Global Strategy with five Goals:

1. Advancing globally responsible forest management.
2. Ensure equitable access to the benefits of FSC systems.
3. Ensure integrity, credibility and transparency of the FSC system.
4. Create business value for products from FSC certified forests.
5. Strengthen the global network to deliver on goals 1 through 4.

FSC works towards these goals through activities which are managed and developed through six program areas: Forests, Chain of Custody, Social Policy, Monitoring and Evaluation, Quality Assurance and Ecosystem Services.
