FSC Forest Week
Do one thing for forests
Held annually, FSC Forest Week is a global campaign that brings organisations together to raise awareness of the importance of sustainable forest management.
Save the date: FSC Forest Week 2026 will be taking place 21-27 September
What is FSC Forest Week?
A chance to celebrate forests, certification, and the people who make it happen
Spotlighting the importance of sustainable forest management, our global FSC Forest Week campaign is held on the last week of September. Each year, brands, NGOs, and organisations join forces to raise awareness about the importance of responsible forest management and it's role in fighting climate change and biodiversity loss.
Since its launch, FSC Forest Week has evolved into a powerful, global campaign. With initiatives such as community engagement, internal company activities, forest walks and factory tours, we are discovering new ways to expand its influence every year.
How to get involved: FSC Certificate and Promotional Licence Holders
FSC Forest Week will be returning 21-27 September 2026.
Campaign toolkit: FSC Licence Holders will be able to register to take part in the campaign (date TBC) via the FSC Brand Hub. This will provide access to the campaign toolkit (which will include social media posts, the campaign logo, and other materials to help celebrate FSC Forest Week). If you haven't already used the FSC Brand Hub, find out how to access the FSC Brand Hub here. If you need to set up a log in, please contact your Certification Body or Trademark Service Provider.
New for 2026: FSC UK will also be providing the UK-based certificate and licence holders which register for the campaign with dedicated internal awareness materials to help bring FSC Forest Week into the heart of your organisation. These resources will be designed to:
- Raise awareness of why choosing FSC matters
- Highlight the commitment, expertise and hard work of those managing your FSC certificate or promotional licence
- Build pride in being part of an organisation that chooses FSC
Now is the perfect time to start the conversation internally. Bringing your communications and marketing teams on board can help extend your reach during FSC Forest Week, ensuring colleagues across the organisation understand not only what FSC is, but why it matters.
Why should FSC Certificate and Licence Holders take part in FSC Forest Week?
The campaign is a fantastic opportunity for organisations to promote their FSC Certification/Licence and to engage with their customers and communities, inviting them to step up for our forests. Our goal is to encourage action to support responsible forest management and show our collective appreciation for forests.
BY TAKING PART, YOU CAN:
- Demonstrate how your organisation helps to safeguard forests, wildlife and our climate
- Educate customers and colleagues about the value of FSC certification
- Support better choices by encouraging people to look for the FSC tick-tree when they shop
