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, asking everyone to 'do one thing for forests'. 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.
Download the campaign toolkit: Register to take part in the campaign on the FSC Brand Hub. You can then download the campaign toolkit, which includes social media posts and other materials you can customise to help celebrate FSC Forest Week. It also contains the key visual (campaign logo), so you can create your own content for the campaign if you wish. Please note: If you haven't already used the FSC Brand Hub, you can find out how to access the FSC Brand Hub here.
Internal awareness materials: FSC UK is currently working on some internal awareness materials to help bring FSC Forest Week into the heart of your organisation. When ready, we will send these to all UK-based certificate and licence holders which register to take part in the campaign on the Brand Hub. 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
