Today, not only paper printing and packaging companies, but many companies are looking to the sustainable development model CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) with three fundamental criteria: Humanities, environment, and talent. In particular, environmental factors are considered a clear way to express social responsibility in building, protecting, and developing natural ecosystems.
1. What is FSC?
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) standard paper packaging means packaging materials are sourced from strictly managed forests for harvesting, accompanied by maintenance and reforestation. Therefore, these packages are rated as more environmentally friendly than other types.
2. Why is protecting the environment associated with sustainable packaging business?
No business can survive without the environment. There will be no paper packaging products such as paper boxes, books, or bags without forest wood and water. Therefore, protecting the environment and reducing natural resource consumption have become complex issues in terms of profitability and social responsibility.
Business and the environment are like two plates of a scale, if one side is overlooked, it will cause unbalance, resulting in both collapses. For example, in the paper packaging industry, to have production materials, businesses need paper. Paper is obtained from natural forest wood and production forest. When natural forests are exploited, enterprises are responsible for planting and developing production forests. In contrast, forests provide timber to meet society’s paper production needs.
3. Why is FSC a commitment to sustainable packaging business?
In order to meet FSC’s 10 principles and 56 strict criteria, businesses must demonstrate their responsibility and long-term commitment to sustainable packaging. A business needs to be sustainable, therefore, many businesses today are using FSC-standard products made from regenerated forests. Looking deeper, business associated with environmental and social responsibility also expresses the sincerity of businessmen.
The FSC Tick-tree logo, if seen on a product, is a guarantee that, by buying that product, the consumer will not be contributing to the reckless destruction of the world’s forest lands when they purchase our paper bags.
The FSC Tick-tree logo means that the wood sourced has not been illegally harvested and is from a responsibly managed area.
