G&G has taken another step in its sustainability journey by receiving FSC Chain-of-Custody Certification for its copy, label and photo papers.
The Forest Stewardship Council, or FSC, is an independent, non-profit organisation that has established a certification system to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. Chain-of-custody is the path taken by raw materials harvested from FSC-certified sources through processing, manufacturing and distribution until it is a final product ready for sale to the end-user.
When end-users purchase FSC-labelled products, they are helping forests, and the people that rely on them, to thrive by supporting zero deforestation, biodiversity preservation, community rights, fair wage and work environment.
“We all have a role to play in protecting the future of our forests and our kids,” said Eric Zhang, General Manager of Ninestar Image. “G&G is committed to its corporate social responsibility efforts and we’re conscientiously doing our part.”
To earn FSC certification, G&G said it underwent rounds of rigorous auditing processes conducted by the Swiss-based SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection, and certification company.
Becoming FSC certified is just one element of G&G’s endeavour to provide sustainable solutions, the company said.
