Santa Ana, California Sustainability-minded organizations that routinely mail high volumes of paper-based documents have a strong new ally and resource for environmentally responsible document production–Financial Statement Services, Inc. (FSSI).
The Santa Ana, CA-based print-mail outsourcing company today announced the receipt of its Chain of Custody Certification, issued by the Forest Stewardship Council® or FSC®. FSSI is one of only a few thousand U.S. businesses to receive the coveted environmental designation, which now allows it to manage and produce documents using FSC-certified paper stock.
“Corporate sustainability strategies call for many of our clients to print their statements, bills and correspondence on paper that originates in responsibly managed forests,” says FSSI president, Jennifer P.W. Dietz. “In addition to helping our clients satisfy their environmental goals, we are proud to expand our own sustainability efforts. This initiative has involved changing our paper handling processes, training personnel to comply with FSC’s Chain of Custody requirements, and preparing for annual audits. We are delighted we can support our clients and our world in this way,” Dietz adds.
About the Forest Stewardship Council
FSC is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization that promotes responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC certified input materials and products are acutely tracked throughout the supply chain, all the way to the consumer. Chain of Custody Certification guarantees that FSC-certified material has been produced in an environmentally sound way, meeting FSC’s 10 Principles, and is identified or kept separate from non-certified material throughout its journey to the marketplace. Conscientious consumers can look for the FSC logo and know they are actively supporting responsible forest management, including biodiversity.
FSSI’s Environmental
