Do One Thing for Forests: How BMG’s FSC-Branded Office Supplies Can Help
As the global campaign FSC Forest Week runs from 20-26 September, it gives us all a chance to reflect on the impact our everyday choices have on forests.
With the theme “Do one thing for forests”, this year’s FSC campaign invites each of us to make at least one change that helps promote sustainable forestry, protect biodiversity, and fight climate change.
At BMG Office Supplies, we’re proud to support this mission—and to help you make that one thing easier—through our range of FSC-certified office products, including paper, envelopes, paper cards, and more. By choosing these items, you're making a tangible difference.
What does FSC mean — and why it matters
-
FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council. It’s a globally recognised label ensuring that forests are managed in ways that preserve biological diversity, benefit local people and workers, and sustain economic viability.
-
FSC-certified products guarantee that materials (e.g. wood, pulp, paper) come from responsibly managed forests.
-
Small choices—like which paper you print on, which envelopes you use—add up. If every business switched to FSC-certified supplies, the cumulative impact could be huge.
Do one thing for forests: our FSC-product suggestions
Here are simple, practical ways you and your office can do one thing this week (or permanently) using FSC-certified supplies:
| Product | How choosing FSC helps | Quick Tip |
|---|---|---|
| FSC-certified plain & recycled paper | Ensures pulp comes from forests managed with high environmental and social standards | Use FSC paper for internal memos, printing, reports etc. Even if you order less often, go FSC. |

How to make FSC-certified choices easy

-
Set a company goal: e.g. “All internal documents will be printed on FSC paper by end of the year.”
-
Educate the team: share what FSC means, why it matters, and how everyone can get involved.
-
Use BMG’s resources: we can help you identify FSC options, compare cost, and switch over.
Final thought
FSC Forest Week is a reminder that even ‘small’ actions are powerful when multiplied. At BMG, we believe that choosing certified paper & stationery is one of those small actions. So this 20-26 September (and beyond), let's do one thing for forests together. Choose FSC, support sustainable forestry, and help make a difference.
