Chain of Custody<br />

Chain of Custody (CoC) is the path taken by<br />

the raw materials harvested from a certified<br />

forest all the way through processing,<br />

production, distribution and printing until<br />

it is a final product to be sold to an end<br />

customer. We are proud to have earned<br />

CoC certification from the following<br />

organizations:<br />

Forest Stewardship Council<br />

(FSC).<br />

The Sustainable Forestry<br />

Initiative (SFI)..<br />

Programme for the Endorsement<br />

of Forest Certification (PEFC).<br />

The PEFC Council (Programme for the<br />

Endorsement of Forest Certification) is an<br />

independent, non-profit, nongovernmental<br />

organization, founded in 1999, which<br />

promotes sustainably managed forests<br />

through independent third party<br />

certification. PEFC provides an assurance<br />

mechanism to purchasers of wood and<br />

paper products that they are promoting the<br />

sustainable management of forests. PEFC is<br />

similar to FSC in relation to the end product<br />

certification, and is growing in popularity<br />

across some regions of Western Europe. PEFC<br />

offers customers a badge of sustainability<br />

as requested by many end users, as proof of<br />

corporately responsible purchasing.<br />

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is<br />

an international network, which promotes<br />

responsible management of the world’s<br />

forests. It accredits independent third party<br />

organizations to FSC standards to ensure<br />

well managed forestry. Its trademark<br />

provides international recognition to<br />

organizations that support the growth of<br />

responsible forest management. Over the<br />

past 12 years, over 84 million hectares in<br />

more than 82 countries have been certified<br />

according to FSC standards (covering around<br />

2% of world forests) while several thousands<br />

of products are produced using FSC certified<br />

wood and carrying the FSC trademark. FSC<br />

operates through its network of National<br />

Initiatives in 40 countries and is becoming<br />

increasingly demanded by customers looking<br />

for a sustainable branded paper. The FSC<br />

trademark can be displayed on products<br />

containing a mix of FSC certified, recycled<br />

and controlled fiber. The FSC logo identifies<br />

products from well managed forests. It is<br />

the global benchmark for responsible forest<br />

management.<br />

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI)<br />

program is based on the premise that<br />

responsible environmental behavior and<br />

sound business decisions can co-exist. SFI<br />

program participants practice sustainable<br />

forestry on all the lands they manage<br />

and they influence millions of additional<br />

acres through the training of loggers and<br />

foresters in best management practices<br />

and landowner outreach programs. This<br />

unique commitment to sustainable forestry<br />

recognizes that all forest landowners, not<br />

just SFI program participants, play a critical<br />

role in ensuring the long-term health and<br />

sustainability of our forests. The SFI program<br />

is overseen by a multistakeholder Board of<br />

Directors which is the sole governing body<br />

over the SFI Standard and all aspects of<br />

the program. including chain of custody<br />

certification and labeling, marketing and<br />

promotion.<br />
