What is FSC®?
FSC® stands for the Forest Stewardship Council®, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting responsible forest management worldwide. Their mission is to ensure that forests are managed in a way that is environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable.
FSC® is widely recognized as the leading certification system for sustainable forestry.
Why FSC® Matters & What They Do?
FSC® is crucial because forests play a vital role in our ecosystem and the well-being of countless species, including humans. The organization focuses on:
- Environmental Protection: Ensuring that forest management practices protect biodiversity and ecosystems.
- Social Responsibility: Upholding the rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities, and ensuring fair treatment and safe working conditions for forest workers.
- Sustainable Practices: Promoting methods that allow forests to thrive while also providing resources for current and future generations.
By working to protect these vital areas, FSC® contributes to a healthier planet and supports the livelihoods of those who depend on forests.
How Is It Related to Your Business?
In today's market, consumers and society increasingly expect businesses to take active steps toward addressing environmental and social issues. Aligning your business with FSC® standards can:
- Enhance Credibility: FSC® certification is recognized globally and demonstrates your commitment to sustainability.
- Meet Consumer Expectations: Ethical consumers are more likely to support businesses that prioritize responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship.
- Differentiate Your Brand: Being FSC®-certified sets your business apart from competitors, showcasing your dedication to high social and environmental standards.
Overall, engaging with FSC® not only reflects well on your brand but also contributes to a more sustainable future for forests and communities worldwide.
Why We Adopt FSC Certification?
As a business, we recognize the growing concern around environmental sustainability. We are committed to being part of the solution by minimizing our impact on both social and environmental levels. By adopting FSC® certification, we ensure that our paper materials do not contribute to deforestation or harm wildlife habitats.
Our Commitment
We take pride in being one of the earliest paper product manufacturers and printers in Malaysia to adopt
FSC®-certified materials. Since 2020, we have held an FSC® Chain of Custody (CoC) Certificate, which authorizes us to provide printing services using FSC®-certified materials and to label our products accordingly.
Collaborative Efforts
Over the years, we have partnered with various organizations to produce marketing materials and packaging on FSC®-certified paper. These collaborations not only support sustainable practices but also demonstrate our commitment to responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship.
By choosing FSC®-certified materials, we align our business with the values of ethical consumers and contribute to the preservation of our forests for future generations.
Understanding the FSC Label
The FSC® "check-tree" logo is one of the most widely recognized symbols globally, assuring customers that wood and paper products are sourced responsibly. There are three types of FSC® product labels, each conveying important information about the materials used in the finished product:
1. FSC® 100%:
- This label confirms that the product is made entirely from FSC®-certified virgin fiber sourced from responsibly managed forests, ensuring that no non- FSC® materials are included.
2. FSC® Recycled:
- This label indicates that the product is crafted from 100% recycled fiber, sourced entirely from post-consumer waste that meets FSC® standards.
3. FSC® Mix:
- This label signifies that the product contains a combination of FSC®-certified virgin fiber, recycled materials, and other controlled sources, adhering to FSC® guidelines.
Choosing products with these labels allows consumers to support sustainable practices and contribute to responsible forest management.
Getting an FSC® label for your products is simpler than you might think. Only FSC®-certified companies,
like WELCOME2PRINT SDN BHD, are authorized to place FSC® labels on products. As a certified provider, we can print two types of FSC® labels - FSC® Recycled and FSC® Mix - on a variety of paper-based items, including paper bags, packaging boxes, notebooks, diaries, memo pads, and promotional materials like leaflets, brochures, catalogs, and posters.
The ordering process for FSC®-certified printing is nearly identical to regular printing orders. We handle every step behind the scenes to make it hassle-free for you: from sourcing materials and obtaining artwork approval from the certification body, to quality control inspections and managing all relevant documents.
For you, it’s as easy as placing a regular order - just let us take care of the rest.
