Our most extensive consumer awareness campaign, FSC® Forest Week, is coming up this September 24th - 30th! This year's theme is 'Choose Forests | Choose FSC' with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of FSC certification worldwide. 

During a time where our world faces unprecedented biodiversity loss, social inequities and climate change, the 2022 FSC General Assembly will explore how we can further strengthen our approach to local and global forest stewardship solutions, reinforce the role of forests as critical nature-based solutions, and define the credibility and value of FSC on global agendas.  

We are the world’s most trusted forest certification scheme, dedicated to protecting the world’s forests the people and wildlife who call them home. Our globally consistent standards address important social, environmental and economic issues in the production of forest products.

Responsible sourcing of wood can benefit construction projects in many ways. Wood is more carbon and energy efficient in comparison to other building materials. However, wood can originate from unsustainable forest management practices which can undermine its benefits. This risk can be mitigated by sourcing FSC certified wood. FSC is the world’s most trusted sustainable forest management solution that adds environmental, social and economic benefits to construction projects.

FSC labels can be found on millions of products and items of packaging around the world. What does the label mean? Simply put: by choosing products with FSC labels, you are helping to take care of the world’s forests.
