Forest Stewardship Council

We are proud to commit to the FSC, which today has more than 1,500 members. The FSC is an international, not-for-profit organization dedicated to finding solutions to the problems created by bad forestry practices—and to rewarding good forest management. Its trademark provides international recognition to organizations that support the growth of responsible forest management. Only operations that have been independently verified for FSC chain-of-custody certification can label their products with the FSC logo. (Chain-of-custody is the path taken by raw materials from the forest to the consumer, including all successive stages of processing, transformation, manufacturing, and distribution.)

The FSC label represents a promise that Phoenix Graphics, Inc. is conscientious in the observance of forestry practices, which we prove by using certain specific grades of paper manufactured from timber that has been grown, managed, and harvested under very rigid environmental protocols.

Sustainable Forestry Initiative

Phoenix Graphics, Inc is one of a select group of printers in New York State to hold both FSC and SFI certification. Our SFI certification indicates that we are using the best sustainable forest management practices in our daily operations—and that as a result, we're protecting air, water, soil, and wildlife as well as ensuring that no wood comes from endangered forests.

The SFI's premise is that responsible environmental behavior and sound business decisions can co-exist. It is one of the world's leading forest certification programs. SFI-certified companies practice sustainable forestry on all the lands they manage. They influence millions of additional acres through the training of loggers, foresters, and family forest landowners in best management practices and landowner outreach programs.
