Why is FSC certification important?

Forests cover about 30% of the world’s land area, but they are disappearing at an alarming rate. Forest certification bodies recognise that forests are vital to life; their purpose is to ensure forests are managed sustainably. The FSC is one of the most well-known forest certification bodies. If a label is FSC certified, consumers know that the material has come from a sustainably managed forest. Today, consumers are increasingly environmentally conscious, so promoting FSC certification on your labels could help your products stand out on the shelf and enhance your brand’s green credentials.

What is the FSC?

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) was founded in 1994 in response to increasing rates of deforestation. The FSC recognises that we must work for the forest as stewards, united in caring for the world’s forests to ensure they are managed sustainably.

The FSC gives forest owners, communities, and businesses the tools they need to make ethical and responsible choices to ensure forests remain viable for generations to come. The FSC wants to see healthy forests with clean flowing rivers that provide a sanctuary for animals worldwide. Today, more than 500 million acres of forest are FSC certified.

FSC certification

Demand for FSC certified products has increased over the past 20 years as consumers become more environmentally conscious. Purchasing FSC certified materials reflects a commitment to environmental responsibility and proactively protecting our air, water, and overall quality of life.

Today, the FSC works with the largest buyers of paper and wood to help them create sustainable products and ensure forests are protected. Products such as paper for label material, furniture, coffee cups, and pencils may be FSC certified. When you see the FSC logo, you know that the product has been checked at every processing stage to ensure compliance with FSC standards.

Wedderburn was FSC certified on June 1st 2021, so we can pass this certification onto our customers. So you can, in turn, promote that your labels are FSC certified and that you’re doing your part to make environmentally conscious choices.

Wedderburn produces over 7 million labels a day for our customers and we are committed to sustainable labelling practices.
