FSC Accreditation

NCP Printing is privileged to announce they have obtained chain-of-custody certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Our company is the first in the Hunter/Central Coast region to obtain Certification. In fact only a handful of companies in NSW currently hold Certification.

It is widely accepted that forest resources and associated lands should be managed to meet the social, economic, ecological, cultural and spiritual needs of present and future generations. Furthermore, growing public awareness of forest destruction and degradation has led consumers to demand that there purchases of wood and paper products will not contribute to this destruction but rather might help secure forest resources for the future.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international, non-profit organisation founded in 1993 to support environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests. These FSC forests are responsibly managed according to fixed standards. The goal is to improve forest conservation and reduce deforestation. After (FSC) forests are harvested they are replanted becoming a sustainable source for wood production. Through the chain-of-custody review, the source of a wood product is verified and tracked through the various production processes to its final state. These products are labeled with the FSC logo, ensuring the consumer that the product they receive is credible and comes from a well managed forest.

The (FSC) accreditation NCP Printing has obtained has only been achieved after the company successfully underwent a vigorous audit to ensure we complied with environmentally sound practices. Our systems were found to be to a standard that ensured we complied with all chain-of-custody requirements. This chain-of-custody process requires tracking the transfer of printing papers from their forest of origin through the many stages of print production and ultimately to the end user.

The sustainability of the world we live in is critical to each and every living thing on our planet. We consider our (FSC) accreditation a further step NCP Printing has taken to be environmentally responsible. Our company considers corporate social responsibility issues are becoming a integral component of corporate brands. Dealing responsibly with your companies footprint cannot only assist our environment but also enhance your corporate brand.
