Accreditations
What do all of these credentials really mean….
FSC® takes care of forests and the people and wildlife that call them home.
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council®) Chain of Custody Certification. Under the FSC system, raw materials are tracked from the forest to the consumer with evidence to confirm the it originates from certified, well-managed forests where they practice responsible forestry.
Our forests are under threat and those who buy a range of materials, including timber, paper and other forest products from untrusted sources could be rewarding damaging and destructive practices. Many timber and paper suppliers will tell you, often in good faith, that their supplies are from ‘sustainable’ or ‘managed’ sources, or from plantations. But without an independent certification system, there is often no way of verifying this or of demonstrating to your clients that you have met their expectation, this is the reason why we rely on FSC Accreditation to ensure that we are buying from responsible sources.
At Colourpoint we use the FSC logo on our printed materials with pride, this is testament to the fact that we will always choose to print on FSC certified stock.
