Communicorp awarded FSC Certification
COLUMBUS, GA., December 7, 2007 – Communicorp,
Inc. was recently awarded Forest Stewardship Council
Chain-of-Custody certification (SCS-COC-001263) an
achievement that reflects an ongoing concern with
the environmental health of the world’s forests
and a commitment to conducting its future business
practices along FSC guidelines.
The Chain of Custody designation certifies that the
origin of the wood used to produce certain papers
is certified throughout the manufacturing process
as well as the printing process, and that the final
product is delivered to the end user with this certification
intact. Material from forests where there is social
conflict, material illegally harvested, from uncertified
high conservation value forests or from forests where
genetically modified organisms are used are not allowed,
and are not allowed to be mixed with FSC-certified
products.
FSC is the acknowledged leader in this environmentally
significant area, with over 90 million hectares in
70 countries certified to meet FSC standards. It is
recognized by corporate and governmental sectors as
well as the NGO community as the model to ensure that
forest resources are maintained for today and for
future generations.
Marcia Bonsell, Vice President of Production at Communicorp,
spearheaded the effort that led to FSC certification,
and spoke for the company. “The ability to use
the FSC trademark is an honor as well as an enormous
responsibility. Communicorp welcomes this opportunity
to evidence its concern for the stewardship of the
world’s natural resources.” Printed products
from Communicorp that carry the FSC designation can
trace the origin of the stock back to the forest from
which the raw material was harvested.
