Christmas waste is a real and growing issue. As climate change concerns rise, shoppers are seeking out ways to make more eco-conscious purchasing decisions this festive season. Businesses can help by encouraging their customers to look out for the FSC tree when making their Christmas purchases.

The Australian National Forest Stewardship Standard (NFSS) addresses pressing issues in Australian forestry, including the rights of Indigenous Peoples, workers’ rights, conservation, and landscape management. After six years of rigorous consultation with industry, environment, and social stakeholders and Indigenous groups, the NFSS was approved in November 2018. It remains the only forest management standard in the country to be supported broadly by industry, environment, and social interests.
