FSC has been dedicated to promoting responsible forest management worldwide and upholding the highest standards in responsible forestry at best. We believe that transforming the market into responsible sourcing is an effective way to halt deforestation and the new norm of doing business.

After a three-year hiatus, the most anticipated "FSC Asia Pacific Business Forum 2022" networking occasion is back. We are looking forward to meeting you in person!

 

The FSC Asia Pacific Business Forum 2022 is a keystone business event that will serve a number of purposes: 
 

  • Is an exclusive networking event where FSC-certified suppliers in Asia Pacific can mix with international buyers, retailers and FSC promotional license holders
  • Will help brands and retailers build strong and sustainable forest product value chains
  • Will connect existing FSC-certified suppliers in Asia Pacific with regional and international brands and retailers
  • Will promote trending and emerging FSC-certified products available in Asia Pacific
  • Will serve as the official launch event for the FSC x UN-REDD Sustainable Tropical Timber Trade Network and Information Hub
