FSC Certification
Making environmentally responsible choices is a priority here at Specialty Print Communications. The most significant proof of our commitment is that we’ve achieved Chain Of Custody Certification by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The FSC is a non-profit, independent organization that was established in Washington in 1995. FSC coordinates the development of forest management standards and promotes the practice of sustainable forestry throughout the U.S.

Our certification ensures the paper and paper-related products used in your program have been produced from responsibly managed forests. The process is certified as part of a chain of custody that will manage and protect our forests for future generations. We also have a certified FSCExpert™ on staff who helps clients choose environmentally appropriate and socially responsible paper.
