FSC and PEFC certification
Since the 9th of January 2009 the organization Papicolor International
B.V. is FSC and PEFC Chain of Custody certified. Obtaining the FSC and
PEFC certificate meets the socially responsible policy which is pursued
within Papicolor. The environment is an important part of general management.
Papicolor wishes to play an active part within the market chain by selecting
suppliers who can meet the high environmental and quality demands. By
doing so, we offer our customers high-quality paper products, respectful
of the environment.
PEFC (Programme for Endorsement Forest Council)
and FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) both are international non-profit
organizations which aim at sustainable forest management worldwide.
Sustainable forest management means that one takes both the economic
and ecological and social functions of the forest into account. At present
and in the future. The certification of the complete market chain is
called Chain of Custody. The Chain of Custody therefore covers the complete
chain, from trunks from the forest until the produced paper product
that is delivered tot the customer.
The management has decided to implement and maintain
a CoC quality system in accordance with the CoC standards, and certifying
her products where possible. The management accepts the consequences
for the required operational management which make the certification
possible.
Twice a year the management will execute an internal audit of the Chain
of Custody of the organization and its compliance with the requirements
of this standard. Reporting this inspection and the shortcomings assessed
will be presented to the management and reviewed in the next management
review. Independent inspectors will supervise the compliance with the
regulations within the chain.
Papicolor can guarantee, by means of the obtained certificate, that
the certified product arrivals are the same as those delivered. All
acts which are done internally related to the product, are done in accordance
with the certification concerned.
By purchasing products carrying the FSC and PEFC label you are supporting
the growth of sustainable forest management worldwide.
