Care for the environment is not only good for us, our children and our grandchildren; it has now become good business as well. Led by companies like Wal-Mart, Microsoft and GE, the sustainability movement has the traction to become a standard in how business is conducted.

The Forest Stewardship Council was created to change the dialogue about and the practice of sustainable forestry worldwide. In the printing industry, The Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC), represents the world's strongest system for guiding forest management toward sustainable outcomes. The FSC sets forth principles, criteria, and standards that span economic, social, and environmental concerns. The FSC is an independent, nonprofit organization that promotes the responsible management of the world's working forests through the development of forest management standards. These standards have been applied to more than 170 million acres of forests in 60 countries since its inception in 1993. The FSC’s international headquarters are located in Bonn, Germany. FSC has contact person and national offices in more than 40 countries, creating a global FSC network. For more information on FSC at the international level, please visit www.fsc.org.

This shows that you are doing your part for the environment. Join other great companies carrying the banner for responsible environmental practices.
