The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)

FSC® is an international, independent, not for profit, non-government organization that supports environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world's forests. FSC’s vision is where the world’s forests meet the social, ecological, and economic rights and needs of the present generation without compromising those of future generations. Chain of Custody (CoC) certification (under which Harmony Printing is certified) provides a guarantee to consumers that any product with the FSC label can be tracked back to an FSC approved source. Every company involved in the production, manufacture, trading and labeling of a product must be FSC certified for it to carry the FSC label. Since Harmony is FSC certified, our customers may use the appropriate FSC label on their printed materials when the paper is also FSC certified. For more information please visit http://www.fsc.org.

why choose FSC® certified material?

If managed correctly, forests are a renewable and responsible source of fibre for paper and wood products. Many environmental groups around the world recognize FSC® as the most rigorous and credible certification process for forestry products. FSC-certified forests protect wildlife habitats and endangered species, ensure clean water by respecting rivers and waterways are not planted with genetically modified trees or converted into plantations. The wide support FSC receives is not only due to the positive impact on forests and communities, but for transparency, focus on a participatory consultation process, third party auditing, and supply chain tracking. Make the right choice. Make the right commitment.

Through our initiative with SGS we are proud to be FSC® Certified.
