FSC certification
The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is an international organization that promotes sustainable forest management. FSC certification indicates that the timber or paper product has been produced in accordance with environmental and social standards. FSC certified products guarantee that forests are managed sustainably, biodiversity is preserved and the rights of local communities are respected. By purchasing products bearing the FSC logo, we can support forest conservation and environmental protection. We are committed to ensuring that our wood and paper products in our portfolio come from sustainably managed forests.
Therefore, we expect our suppliers and products to be FSC certified. In the begreen range, the manufacturers of the affected products are certified by the FSC, while our TableSMART dispenser napkin carries the FSC number of Bunzl. Our suppliers manufacture mostly hand towels, toilet paper and industrial wipes from FSC certified raw materials. Our brand products (e.g. Tork, Kimberly-Clark, Vajda paper) also have FSC certification.
Why is it good for a product to be FSC certified?
The certification guarantees that the wood and paper used in the product come from responsible sources.
This has several advantages:
Environmental awareness: certification means that forest management takes environmental sustainability into account, preserving forest biodiversity and ecosystems.
Social responsibility: the standards ensure that forest management respects the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities, and that these communities receive support.
Economic benefits: certification helps to spread sustainable management practices that make forests economically sustainable in the long term.
Consumer confidence: certification increases consumer confidence in products, knowing that they have been produced in an ethical and sustainable way.
Market benefits: many companies, governments and organisations favour certified products, which can lead to market benefits for certified businesses.
Overall, certification is an important tool for protecting the world’s forests and contributes to achieving the goals of sustainable development.
