FSC Forest Week
Promoting healthy forests is crucial. How can we make a lasting impact?
Held annually, FSC Forest Week (formerly FSC Friday) is a worldwide campaign that calls upon all forest stewards to help drive consumer awareness about the importance of sustainable forestry. The aim is to inspire these customers to act by choosing FSC-certified products.
From 23 to 29 September, we are highlighting the importance of healthy forests.
Thriving forests are key to our fight against the climate and biodiversity crises. To achieve our vision of healthy and resilient forests that sustain life on Earth, it is critical to raise awareness and inspire responsible actions that positively impact our environment.
This year’s theme shows the social and environmental benefits of FSC certification, encouraging us to help tackle climate change, biodiversity loss, and deforestation.
With 1.6 billion people reliant on them for their livelihoods, and 80 per cent of the world’s animal species calling them home, our responsibility is to protect these precious ecosystems. Choosing FSC-certified products helps safeguard biodiversity and protect endangered species. Together, let’s make a lasting impact.
Choose FSC to help protect our forests
By learning to Trust the Tree and choosing FSC, we can actively contribute to responsible forestry. How? Look for the FSC ‘check-tree’ label on millions of products worldwide. It verifies sustainable sourcing from forest to store shelves.

Highlights of Previous Years
FSC Friday is the annual awareness day that increases knowledge, encourages commitment and raises appreciation for FSC’s responsible forestry. This year, despite Covid-related restrictions across APAC, FSC Friday made a significant impact, with governments, companies and organisations participating in small-scale but successful activities and creating a high level of engagement.
The last Friday of every September marks FSC Friday – an annual awareness day to increase knowledge, encourage commitment and raise appreciation for responsible forestry. 2020’s year’s theme of “Forests for All Together” embraced the fact that despite the pandemic, we are still one global family that shares this planet.
