Over the past few decades, not just in our sector alone, we have assisted in the cultural development of the concepts of environment and sustainability, which peaked in the 90s and 00s with the idea of ‘sustainable development.
In an increasingly competitive market, to be cutting edge doesn’t just mean having technologically advanced machinery; it also means respecting nature.
And that’s what we do!
Indeed, in 2009, we obtained the FSC® Forest Stewardship Council® certification (licence code FSC-C020069) which assures you, the consumer, that the product on offer is made with material from forests managed with complete environmental, social, and economic compliance. Additionally, the FSC® certification is on two different levels: Forest Certification and Certification of the Chain of Custody, the latter essential to track at company level all the processing and distribution stages of the product.
The PEFC (Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) certification also dates from the same year, a framework to endorse certification schemes at a national level, based on the agreement between the interested parties (forest owners, end users, and users), to sustainably manage forests at a regional and national level. The PEFC was developed in 1998 by the European timber industry and forest owners to promote the mutual endorsement of national forest certification schemes already in existence.
Over 80% of MB Paper’s paper is covered by FSC® and PEFC certifications.
Indeed, all our paper products are made with paper of the very highest quality from the Scandinavian Peninsula and—where possible, in order to further diminish environmental impact—in combination with recycled paper.
These certifications undoubtedly entail a great commitment in terms of economic commitment and attention to processes.
In MB Paper’s view, this commitment represents an investment: ask for FSC® and PEFC products, for us, for you, and for those to come.
