Other Ways To Support Responsible Forestry

As the most trusted sustainable forestry standard, FSC is a positive force for change that supports biodiversity, climate resilience, worker's rights, Indigenous Peoples rights, community livelihoods, and wildlife. But forests continue to come under pressure from deforestation, forest degradation, illegal logging, and the changing climate. This is the current context that shapes our work, from building on our foundation for responsible forest management to fully enabling responsible stewardship.

Join us in taking action for nature, and taking care of Forest For All, Forever.

Get involved in FSC consultation processes

Stakeholder engagement is a key component of the FSC certification scheme, playing an important role in the FSC Principles and Criteria for Forest Stewardship and other parts of the FSC normative framework. Most FSC standards and procedures are set through participatory approaches based on the involvement of environmental, economic and social stakeholders. Stakeholder engagement is not only essential in standard development, it also represents a key element for certificate holders in building long-term relationships with local communities to monitor any social and environmental impact of their forest operations.

FSC Forest Week

What is FSC® Forest Week?

FSC Forest Week is an annual campaign that raises awareness about sustainable forestry, highlighting the Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) work and forest stewards’ role in addressing climate change and biodiversity loss. 2024 marks 30 years since we started our mission. You can be part of this journey by taking the small steps that create big change throughout the week, working to raise awareness and promote FSC’s impact.

Update your procurement policies

Drive change throughout your supply chain by stating preference for FSC-certified products and materials.  

An environmentally responsible and sustainable procurement policy can be just as beneficial to your business or organisation as it is to the environment.  Companies with commitments to sourcing FSC-certified products and materials will simultaneously advance sustainability efforts, protect forests which are a proven nature-based solution in the fight against climate change, and create a unique competitive advantage that has the potential to unlock new revenue streams.
