TVC's attainment of the forestry friendly labeling affirms the organization's commitment to preserving the environment by using only wood products from responsibly managed forests.

Forest Stewardship Council is an international, non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world's forests. It was founded in 1993 in response to public concern about deforestation and demand for a trustworthy wood-labelling scheme. FSC developed a system of forest certification and product labelling that allows consumers to identify wood and wood-based products from well-managed forests.
