What is FSC Certification?
FSC is the Forest Stewardship Council and according to their website, their purpose is to set forth principles, criteria, and standards that span economic, social, and environmental concerns. The FSC standards represent the world’s strongest system for guiding forest management toward sustainable outcomes.
So, what does being FSC certified involve and mean for printing services? Carrying the FSC-certification logo on your print products tells the world that you support the highest social and environmental standards in the market where you use paper. Essentially, it involves purchasing FSC-certified paper and print products for a print facility. Further, there are inspections of print facilities that must take place.
Being an FSC certified printer is critical as corporate social responsibility issues are becoming a core component of corporate branding. Dealing responsibly with your company’s printing can enhance your corporate image and reduce your company’s footprint. It is important to find out if your print and mail vendor is certified or doing their part to be an environmentally friendly printer.
