FSC/PEFC

Forest Management schemes ensure that wood fibre used for paper production has been sourced from well managed forestry, certified to standards that uphold specific social, environmental and economic criteria.

FSC® and PEFC™ are by far the best known and largest of the forest management schemes that have contributed significantly to the growth of commercial forestry in recent years. Using the chain of custody process, both schemes enable paper products to be traced back (through each stage of distribution, storage and manufacture) to the certified forestry source from which they are made - including the tree species used to produce them! The FSC and PEFC logos are used on publications to endorse the papers' sustainability credentials to the outside world.
