What is FSC® Forest Week?

FSC® Forest Week (formerly FSC Friday) is a global awareness campaign created by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC). It takes place every year during the last week of September and involves companies and organizations around the world.

The goal is to:

• promote knowledge about forests,

• raise awareness of the contribution of responsible forest management,

• highlight the role we can all play in combating climate change and biodiversity loss.

This year's theme is “Do one thing for forests”: a call to take concrete action to protect forests.

Why choose FSC® labels?

Responsible materials

Paper and substrates come from forests managed according to responsible environmental, social, and economic criteria.

Traceable supply chain

The chain of custody ensures that every stage, from paper production to label printing, is certified and verified.

Credibility and transparency

Reduces the risk of greenwashing and strengthens consumer and business partner confidence.

Competitive advantage

Many sectors—food & beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals—and large-scale retailers require FSC®-certified packaging.

Social impact

FSC® standards include the principles of the International Labor Organization, which protect the fundamental rights of workers.

FAQ

What is the FSC® label? It is a mark that certifies the responsible sourcing of paper and wood-based materials, guaranteeing a traceable and verified supply chain.

What is the difference between FSC® and PEFC? Both are forest management certifications, but with different criteria. FSC® is the most internationally recognized.

Why choose FSC® labels for my company? To transparently demonstrate your commitment to sustainability, respond to the demands of large-scale retailers, and reduce the risk of greenwashing.
