Forest Stewardship Council
Corporate Social Responsibility and FSC Certification
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the belief that a business or organization should consider the social, ethical and environmental impact of all of its activities on customers, employees, shareholders and communities around it. Corporate Social Responsibility should; therefore, be a core component of your Corporate Brand.
Perception of Corporate Social Responsibility related to environmental issues extends beyond the belief that a company has a statutory obligation to comply with legislation. It views an organization as being required to voluntarily take further steps to improve the quality of life for employees and their families, the local community and society at large.
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain-of-Custody Certification promotes responsible management of forest resources. A company committed to the sustainable practices involved can enjoy better environmental performance that can result in benefits to its overall image. It may realize increased customer loyalty and greater brand differentiation. It could also see positive impact on employee relations through improvement in recruitment and retention and it might well avoid many of the challenges of obtaining and maintaining public consent to conduct business.
Carrying HBP’s FSC Certification Trademark on your printed material tells all who see it that you practice Corporate Social Responsibility. It clearly indicates that you support the highest social and environmental standards in the market where you use paper and printing.
