The FSC stuff stands for Forest Stewardship Council.
If you click on the logo on our home page we have now posted a page explaining what the FSC accreditation means to the Russell Press. Alternatively you can go straight to the page at
http://www.russellpress.com/FSC_accreditation.htmlIn short though, its a way of certifying that a particular paper comes from a sustainable source, where the forests are managed to protect wildlife habits and respect the rights of local communities. This is done by monitoring the production process from start to end and involves inspection and auditing of the land from which the timber and pulpwood originate and tracking it through all the steps of the production process until it reaches the end user.
All products carrying the FSC Logo have been independently certified as coming from forests that meet the internationally recognised FSC Principles and Criteria of Forest Stewardship. For a printed product to carry the logo it must be printed on FSC Paper by an FSC Certified Printing Company. We have achieved this certification.
Hope this helps?
