FSC WEEK
- Each year, the Danish FSC organisation organises FSC Week, where a number of Danish companies, organisations and NGOs jointly focus on FSC and the value of sustainable forestry.
- During this week, JYSK in Denmark will bring extra focus to FSC, among other things on social media and in the campaign paper.
again participating. During this week, JYSK will therefore bring extra focus on the importance of FSC (TM) and sustainable forestry, as well as how we at JYSK are working with sustainability.
This year, FSC Week will focus on FSC from a global perspective. The campaign wishes to clarify that when customers buy FSC certified products, it has a positive impact on forests around the world – not just on the specific forest from which the wood originates. This is because when customers choose FSC, they support FSC's work for vulnerable forest areas – from the Nordic coniferous forests to the tropical rainforests.
FSC and JYSK
JYSK has been a member of FSC's Danish organisation since 2006, because we want to help spread the general knowledge of FSC. We do this by supporting various events, including the FSC week in Denmark.
The FSC label is found on many of JYSK's wood products, and we are constantly working to get even more FSC certified products in range. Today, all the wood used for our garden furniture is FSC certified (FSC N001715).
What is FSC?
FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council (TM) and is an international non-profit organisation and a labeling scheme for wood and paper from sustainable forests.
FSC constantly works to secure vulnerable forest areas around the world, so that the world's forests also in the future will be full of life.
