What is FSC Forest Week?
From 21 - 27 September, we are highlighting the value of forests and how choosing sustainably-sourced products can help create resilient forests for the future. And we want you to be part of it!
FSC certified companies from the Adria-Balkan Region have participated in the previous edition of this campaign, see how it went on the link below.

Why choose forests?
The world needs forests. They clean the air we breathe and filter the water we drink. They give us the resources to build our homes and provide many essential day-to-day products. Forests also play a vital role as a natural carbon-capture mechanism. Learn more about the benefits from the forests.
Globally, 1.6 billion people rely on forests directly for their livelihoods. But people aren’t the only ones who rely on forests.
Over half the world’s species call forests their home, making them one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on our planet. Caring for forests means caring for the creatures that live within and around them. Life is dependent on healthy, diverse ecosystems and forests are a vital habitat.

Our purpose is to promote responsible forestry so forests and people can thrive. Today, FSC is the world’s most recognized, rigorous and trusted forest certification system.
How to participate in the campaign?
To make things simple, this year we have prepared a campaign guide for FSC certificate holders. Be sure to have a look at the materials prepared and enjoy this years campaign!

This guide is your starting point. Within the toolkit guide, you will find all the marketing materials and collateral needed to plan and activate the campaign. These include:
- Social media visuals
- Social media copy
- Digital and print assets
- Internal engagement presentation
- Key visual guidance
The guide also helps you understand where you can find the materials.
Prepare your materials and co-brand
Once you have seen the toolkit, it is time to select all the different ways you wish to participate in this years campaign, both online and offline! This is the fun part as you get to be creative and co-brand with your own companies identity.
Remember, this years campaign is underpinned by the theme "Small steps together create big change for all", focusing on highlighting how small daily actions help drive a big change for our planet - to combat climate change and biodiversity crisis.
Request a trademark usage approval
Remember to use your FSC licence code in to copy of all social media posts and other printed visuals. Once your materials are ready, you must first get your FSC trademark usage approved by your certification body.

P.S. Make sure to use #FSCForestWeek hastag whenever possible, so that we can track campaign success.
5 actions you can do to take care of forests
Choose FSC-certified products while you are shopping in stores or online. How? Look for the FSC ‘check-tree’ label, found on millions of products worldwide. It verifies sustainable sourcing from the forest to store shelves.
FSC is always keen for more businesses to support our mission to help protect the world’s forests.
Make a change in your own workplace. It can be small, like replacing the coffee cups in your break room with FSC-certified ones.
It's hard to know what you’re trying to protect if you haven’t seen it for yourself. So, explore and appreciate the natural beauty of the world’s forests and everything they have to offer.
Everybody has a role to play in influencing positive change. So get the word out there. Help and challenge those around you to learn more about our forests.
