Design & Build with FSC at Greenbuild 2011

Hard to believe, but Greenbuild 2011 is rapidly approaching. Running October 4–7 in Toronto, this year’s event is being held in Canada for the first time, creating a big opportunity to engage people and organizations across North America.


For FSC, there is no more important event than Greenbuild. And with LEED 2012 standards under development, this year is the most significant yet. FSC US is partnering with FSC Canada to ensure our presence at Greenbuild puts FSC, our sponsors and other stakeholders at the center of the action.

Greenbuild Sponsor Opportunities Available

FSC’s participation at Greenbuild is only possible because of the partnership with our sponsors. In 2011, FSC is very proud to have Kimberly-Clark Professional as our platinum sponsor, The Home Depot and Tembec as gold sponsors and Andersen CorporationThe Collins CompaniesColumbia Forest ProductsEastern Ontario Model ForestSolitekUpper Canada Forest Products and Wilsonart International as silver sponsors. Thank you to all of our sponsors for your commitment to FSC.

With several repeat sponsors from Greenbuild 2010, we are confident in the value of the FSC sponsorship at Greenbuild. There is literally no more high profile way to demonstrate your commitment to responsibly managed forests. Sponsors can staff the FSC booth at the center of the Certified Wood Pavilion, give away product samples, engage with FSC stakeholders and collect all leads from the event. There are still a small number of gold and silver level sponsorships available. We are happy to work with you to meet your sponsorship objectives.
