FSC creates division to grow globally

The Forest Stewardship Council has established a new business unit, 'FSC Global Development', in a bid to "develop and expand" markets.

The site in Bonn, Germany, which was founded to strengthen the recognition and credibility of the FSC trademarks, will be headed by Liza Murphy in the role of managing director.

Heiko Liedeker, executive director of FSC International, said: "Establishing FSC Global Development is the next logical step for this continually evolving institution.

"With the help of our strong network, the activities from this new unit will strengthen FSC markets and play a vital role in securing the credibility of the FSC trademarks."
