Consumers are feeling increasingly empowered to make an impact on sustainability by:  • choosing more sustainable products: Climate change and biodiversity loss are now the top 2 drivers of purchase for paper-based products, such as tissues, books, and stationery —even more important than quality and price;  • holding brands accountable: 86% of consumers expect companies to ensure their wood/paper products don’t contribute to deforestation;  • embracing forest certification: 76% of consumers believe sustainability information on products should be certified by a credible independent organization;  • checking for the FSC tree: 69% of consumers say the FSC label motivates them to buy a product. As the most recognized and trusted forest-certification system globally, FSC helps consumers protect the world’s forests.
