HPI is Now an FSC-Certified Printer

All of us here at HPI are happy to announce that we have received FSC chain-of-custody certification (GFA-COC-002105).

For those of you who may not already know, the initials “FSC” stand for Forest Stewardship Council, an independent nonprofit organization established in 1993 to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.

This certification allows us to use FSC-certified paper that carries the FSC trademark, assuring you and your clients that the paper was made from wood harvested from well-managed forests.

According to the FSC website (www.fscus.org), the organization was created in response to conversations between loggers, foresters, environmentalists, and sociologists who wanted to address challenges raised at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio. They wanted to change the dialogue about and the practice of sustainable forestry worldwide. Today, the FSC standards for forest management are applied in more than 57 countries. The FSC’s international headquarters are located in Bonn, Germany, and the U.S. office is located in Minneapolis.

We are pleased to be able to promote the use of FSC-certified paper for your print projects. Please let us know if you are interested in learning more about certifying the paper and carrying a certification label on your next project.
