We are FSC® certified – verified origin of corrugated board for your packaging

We are FSC®-certified – which means that when you buy packaging or corrugated board from us, you can be confident that the material comes from responsibly managed forests. Our certificate (FSC-C188297) guarantees the origin of the materials, and both obtaining and maintaining the certification is subject to strict requirements, regular audits, and controls across all links in the supply chain. We are proud to protect our planet this way – and glad you are with us.

What is FSC certification?

The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) was founded in 1993 with the vision of “promoting environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’s forests, and thereby helping to protect the world’s disappearing, threatened and devastated forests”.

Among the core FSC principles is forest management that preserves biodiversity. The protection of water resources, soil, and entire ecosystems is a matter of course in these forests. This also includes regulating plantations so that they serve only a supplementary role in the management of natural forests.

Three types of FSC labels

FSC-certified products are labelled with three different logos depending on the origin of the material:

• FSC 100% – the product is made exclusively from wood sourced from FSC-certified forests,
• FSC MIX – a combination of materials from FSC-certified forests, recycled materials, and/or other controlled sources,
• FSC RECYCLED – the product is made exclusively from recycled wood or paper.

Below the FSC logo on the label you will always find the licence code of the company that manufactured or sells the product. You can verify the authenticity of the licence in the international FSC certificate holder database.

FSC worldwide and in the Czech Republic

For the Czech Republic, this means restoring native tree species (beech, oak, fir), harvesting timber using more sensitive methods that make forests more resilient, leaving some trees to die and decay naturally in the forest, and even setting aside areas of forest for natural, unmanaged development.

Today, more than 171 million hectares of forest in over 80 countries are FSC-certified, with Europe holding the largest certified area. In the Czech Republic, that figure exceeds 133,000 hectares – and the certified area grows every year.

The certificate is held by a large number of companies – not only in timber processing, but across the entire supply chain. Since 2023, we are one of them.
