FOREST STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL® (FSC®)
Warneke Paper Box is committed to responsible forest management through our membership and certifications with FSC. FSC is the most rigorous, credible forest certification system. They ensure that forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible and socially beneficial manner. FSC’s forest management standards also expand protection of water quality, prohibit harvest of rare old-growth forest and prevent loss of natural forest cover. It is our responsibility as a manufacturer to ensure our forests are being taken care of and well managed. — FSC® Certificate #: BV-COC-116300

WHAT FSC® DOES
“The Forest Stewardship Council sets standards for responsible forest management. A voluntary program, FSC uses the power of the marketplace to protect forests for future generations. — Some people feel the best way to prevent deforestation is to stop using forest products. In reality, people use forest products every day. For example, the average American uses nearly six trees worth of paper each year. — So FSC harnesses market demand to ensure forests are responsibly managed. Because FSC is the gold standard in forest certification, it is the only system supported by groups such as WWF, Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Natural Resources Defense Council and National Wildlife Federation. — Today, more than 380 million acres of forest are certified under FSC’s system, including more than 150 million acres in the US and Canada.” [link]
