Forest certification

Building on its role as a leader in environmentally sound printing practices, Quad/Graphics now has certifications from the world's three leading forest management programs: the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).

Quad/Graphics was the first national commercial printer to receive chain-of-custody certification from the FSC in 2004 and, now, with the SFI and PEFC certifications, Quad/Graphics vastly expands the pool of forest-certified paper suppliers from which its clients can choose.

FSC, SFI and PEFC are the world’s leading independent, non-profit, non-government organizations devoted to the responsible management of the world’s forests. To gain forestry certification from these groups, companies must submit to a rigorous third-party audit of purchasing practices and control systems.

Quad/Graphics successfully demonstrated its ability to meet these strict compliance requirements in multiple areas, including chain of custody – a measure to track wood through the supply chain, from a certified forest through the end-user of the certified product.

By offering new procurement opportunities across an environmentally responsible, global supply chain, Quad/Graphics can meet both its business and social objectives.
