While others talk, we take action.
The topic of the environment is in the news on an everyday basis. From global warming to going green, sustaining the health of our climate is a concern that’s here to stay. Many companies ask: What can we do? How do we get started? Will our efforts be enough to make a difference? Graphic Communications has the answers.
We’re the first paper brokerage in the world to be Chain of Custody certified with both the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). We’re also CoC certified with the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC) and are the only company in our industry known to have a Director of Environmental Affairs on staff, a position we created in early 2006.
GC can consult with your company to help you:
- Recognize increasingly complex environmental issues.
- Develop a paper procurement policy with the environment in mind.
- Establish and accomplish your environmental goals.
- Create strategies to lighten your environmental footprint.
- Understand Chain of Custody and Forest Certification.
- Gain perspective on ENGOs and current environmental actions.
- Produce environmental labeling for your products.
Developing a serious, actionable environmental policy is not just a public relations or crisis communications issue. It requires working in conjunction with experts like Graphic that can help you develop defensible standards and actually put them into motion. We can provide research and sample policies to get you thinking and also recommend professional consultants to get you started.
Even if your business already has an environmental policy, GC can help ensure that it’s comprehensive and aligned with current industry procedures and prepare you to take the steps toward certification.
More and more, consumers are asking about the origin of their paper. Environmental action groups and forest campaigns are only getting bigger. Get on the train before it leaves without you.
