The Finnish packaging manufacturer Carccu® has been awarded the FSC® Chain of Custody certification developed by the Forest Stewardship Council®.
Carccu®, a packaging manufacturer based in Sastamala, Finland, has been awarded the FSC® Chain of Custody (CoC) certification developed by the Forest Stewardship Council®. Wood in a product carrying the FSC® label originates from forests managed in accordance with environmental, social, and economic sustainability principles.
The FSC® label on paper packaging demonstrates commitment to sustainable forest management
The FSC® Chain of Custody (CoC) certification recognizes the work of companies and organizations in promoting sustainable forest management and creates a strong link between forest management and products. The certification is supervised by independent, accredited auditors and it is the only wood product certification that is also supported by WWF, Nature League and Greenpeace. FSC® Chain of Custody certification verifies that the certified materials are tracked and separated from non-certified materials throughout the production process, ensuring compliance with strict environmental, social, and economic sustainability standards.
Work on obtaining the certification started at Carccu® last year as part of the company’s ISO 9001 and ISO 14 001 quality system certification efforts. Last year, Carccu® was also awarded the PEFC Chain of Custody (CoC) for environmental responsibility. The certifications highlight Carccu®’s commitment to ecological advancements in the paper packaging industry.
“The certification is proof from an external audit that we are acting responsibly”, says Lasse Borg, Managing Director of Carccu®.
