Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody (CoC) Certification gained.

RESCO received FSC certification in February of 2009. FSC is recognized as the most rigorous and credible forest certification system internationally. RESCO’s processes and standards were thoroughly audited by Smartwood, a responsible forestry program of the Rainforest Alliance.

This certification enables RESCO to offer chain of custody for FSC certified paper - ensuring that the paper used comes from verifiably well-managed forests and reputable pulp producers and paper mills.

What does this mean for our customers?

By using RESCO, an FSC certified printer and FSC certified paper, it means that your printed jobs can carry the coveted Forest Stewardship Council logo, showing that your organization is actively promoting the use of responsible materials and reinforcing with your audiences a commitment to working with vendors that only use best environmental practices. Non-certified printers are not able to offer you this.

RESCO is proud to add the FSC certification. The two main reasons for us to become FSC certified were because we are always trying to be good stewards within our community and within our industry. Secondly, because we have clients who consistently try to improve their environmental initiatives by requesting recycled papers, reduced packaging, vegetable based inks, etc. As we continue to improve our company’s “green initiatives” for the sake of the environment, our clients will have options to do the same. It’s definitely a win/win scenario.
