The article proves the need for changes in the forest management system based on sustainable development. The implementation of an interdisciplinary approach in the study convincingly demonstrates the growing importance of forests due to their performance of environmental, economic, and social functions at the local, national and global levels. Based on the analysis of scientific sources and official international documents, the approaches to determining the essence of sustainable and established forest use, balanced development of forestry are generalized, namely as: 1) harmonious combination of ecological, economic, and social functions of forests; 2) sustainable development of forest ecosystems and the landscape in general; 3) comprehensive application of measures for the use, reproduction, formation, protection, and conservation of forests, taking into account the interests of all stakeholders; 4) inexhaustible and rational use of (potential) forest resources. The content of these approaches requires the usage of appropriate forest management systems, which reflect the strategic goals and priorities and use proper tools for their implementation. Namely, when interpreting sustainable forest use according to the first approach, it is advisable to use integrated management systems based on international standards. If the second approach features dominate, we should apply sustainable forest management, ecologically oriented forest management, ecosystem, and ecological management. In the third approach – sustainable forest management based on SA 8000 (Social Accountability) standards, social administration; in the fourth approach – environmental management based on ISO 14000 standards, business process management. The essence and features of the specified system's application of management of the forestry enterprises are characterized
