By GlobalData“By achieving the FSC certification it not only publicly demonstrates our commitment to environmental best practice, by sourcing all of our paper for our packaging from well-managed forests, but also complements the wide range of other initiatives we have been implementing over the last five years.”
Despite receiving the certification, GWP is yet to achieve the FSC standard.
The company must develop strict procedures and conduct a thorough audit across its supply chain to fulfil the criteria.
GWP managing director Ruth Cook said: “As we knew the material we use is from FSC approved sources, and we already have the ISO 14001 environmental standard in place, the logical next step was to become FSC certified ourselves.”
