This includes an interactive assessment to determine which FSC solutions are right for different organizations, tools to get familiar with the Regulatory Module and Risk Assessment Framework, a well-organized FAQ, and clear steps on how to begin. This platform will continue to be improved and built upon – including a translation plug-in for Spanish, French, and Mandarin – as we learn more about the tools and resources that will be most helpful for our certificate holders and their journeys towards EUDR compliance.

Good news for forests: consumers are increasingly demanding sustainable packaging*. ✅ 63% of consumers aim to buy products with renewable packaging like paper. ✅ 66% expect companies to ensure their packaging does not contribute to deforestation. It is crucial to meet this growing demand for paper-based packaging, and at the same time, ensure that the paper is responsibly sourced from forests. That’s where FSC certification comes in: ensuring that the paper or cardboard used is sustainably sourced from forests that meet rigorous environmental and social standards. Research further shows that 62% of those consumers* who recognize FSC would choose FSC-certified products over their non-certified equivalents. With deep roots in the packaging industry, FSC certification is now being taken further with the latest innovations in bio-based packaging, complemented both by paper-bottle packaging and expanding FSC Recycled label usage. 🎥 To learn more watch the full video https://lnkd.in/eNqkATAd or visit fsc.org/packaging *Source: Ipsos Global Consumer Survey for FSC, June 2023. #SustainablePackaging #FSC #ForestsForAllForever Tetra Pak
