If you’ve looked into sustainable stationery, printing, or packaging, you’ve likely noticed the small “tree-tick” logo popping up everywhere. This symbol represents the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)—one of the most trusted organisations in global forest sustainability. But what exactly does FSC paper mean, and why do so many schools, companies, printers, and packaging providers emphasise its importance? Let’s break it down.
Being a responsible business isn’t a slogan for us — it’s a standard. We are proud to celebrate our third year of successful accreditation with the Good Business Charter (GBC), an achievement that reflects our long-term commitment to fairness, sustainability, and ethical business practices. The Good Business Charter is considered the UK’s standard for responsible business. It was developed with the help of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), Trades Union Congress (TUC), and Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), establishing clear expectations for responsible conduct. Its ten elements—covering aspects like paying the Real Living Wage, fair contracts, environmental care, and ethical sourcing—offer a transparent framework for organisations dedicated to prioritising people and the planet.
Over the last two years, we have undertaken a significant journey to minimise our environmental footprint and enhance the sustainability of our printing services. As a company dependent on materials, energy, and transportation, we see it as our duty to act responsibly—not only by optimising our operations but also by supporting initiatives that offset the carbon emissions we generate.
