At FSC International, we believe forests are more than landscapes — they are livelihoods, cultures, ecosystems, and the foundation of a sustainable future.
As the world’s most trusted forest certification system, FSC brings together environmental, social, and economic interests to protect forests and the people who depend on them. Our work reaches across continents, cultures, and communities, and our credibility depends on integrity, transparency, and accountability. That is why our System Integrity Unit plays such a critical role — and why we are now looking for an experienced Remedy Manager - Asia Pacific (m-f-d). In this role, you will be responsible for the regional implementation, coordination, and continuous improvement of the FSC Remedy Framework in the Asia Pacific region. The role owns defined regional processes and workstreams within the Remedy Framework, ensuring effective onboarding of remedy cases, stakeholder engagement, and adaptation of global procedures to regional contexts. Acting as the primary regional focal point and subject-matter contributor, the role provides structured analysis, stakeholder guidance, and process improvement to support high-quality and consistent application of remedy processes.
