Using the trademark

As an FSC certificate holder, you can use the FSC trademarks:

• On-product: Label your certified products by printing the on-product label directly on the product or its packaging. You can also use stickers, hang-tags, or metal plates for on-product labeling.
• Promotional use: Promote your company and its certified products by incorporating the FSC logo and relevant claims into various company materials. Examples include your website, stationery, email signatures, price lists and product catalogues.

You will also gain access to the  FSC Brand Hub, a one-stop platform designed to simplify and elevate the way you use FSC marks, marketing assets, and campaigns.

Trademark use approval

To maintain the integrity of the FSC brand, certificate holders are required to comply with the FSC Trademark Standard and obtain prior approval for each intended use of FSC trademarks before making such use public, unless an approved Trademark Management System is in place.

Only authorised uses of FSC trademarks may be applied to products and promotional materials. You can find our guide on how to implement Trademark Management System here.
