The Forest Stewardship Council
Established in 1993 as a response to concerns over global deforestation, FSC is widely regarded as one of the most important initiatives of the last decade to promote responsible forest management worldwide.
The FSC label provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value.
Sustainable Forestry Initiative
The Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) label is a sign you are buying wood and paper products from well-managed forests, backed by a rigorous, third-party certification audit. Learn more about how SFI Inc. is improving sustainable forest management in North America and supporting responsible procurement globally.
Beyond Certifications

designers' press takes pride in going well beyond traditional nods to ‘going green.' We are pleased to have earned certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). The certifications require traceability of paper products in each step of production. The Chain of Custody begins with tree harvesting in the forest and includes procession, production and distribution through the mill to the product sale to an end user.
designers' press knows that the responsibility for environmental resources is critical to the well-being of our industry and our customers.
