To highlight the importance of responsible forestry, JYSK willA cup of coffee in the forest again this year take part in FSC Week in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. At the same time, JYSK can announce that as of 1 January 2025, all newly sourced products and packaging made from wood, cardboard, or paper have been FSC-certified (FSC® N001715). 

The achievement marks an important milestone in JYSK’s long-standing commitment to responsible forestry. JYSK has been a member of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Denmark since 2006, continuously working to increase the share of FSC-certified materials in the product assortment and packaging solutions. 

"At JYSK, we are committed to ensuring that several of the largest material groups used in our products are certified according to relevant standards. This includes FSC®, OEKO-TEX®, Better Cotton, and GRS,” says Lars Ringtved Nielsen, Compliance & Quality Director at JYSK, and continues: 

“Reaching our FSC goal is a significant step in ensuring that the materials our suppliers use come from responsible sources. This achievement is a testament to the dedication of our colleagues and partners to responsible forestry.”

Ensuring that all wood, cardboard, and paper-based materials are FSC-certified aligns with JYSK’s overall sustainability strategy, “A great offer for generations”, which was launched in October 2024. In January 2025, JYSK also announced that all newly purchased cotton used in JYSK's textile products comes from more sustainable cotton production instead of conventional cotton.
