Forest Stewardship Council
By: Jefte Puente
Responsible printers, step on up and show your green. Printers can become certified by the Forest Stewardship Council to show they responsibly use paper products. Today, FSC certification is leading the path of responsible forestry worldwide. With about 90 million hectares certified in over 70 countries, FSC has positioned itself as the leader in this area. FSC is recognized by the corporate and governmental sectors and the NGO community as the model to ensure that forest resources are maintained for today and for future generations.

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) program is based on the premise that responsible environmental behavior and sound business decisions can co-exist. SFI program participants practice sustainable forestry on all the lands they manage. They also influence millions of additional acres through the training of loggers and foresters in best management practices and landowner outreach programs.
Printers, designers, and corporate marketing managers can be part of the solution. Show off your green by building a listing for your organization.
