FSC® Certification
DPI Direct is proud to be certified with the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) Chain of Custody (CoC). This means our paper is from sources that follow strict guidelines to protect forests around the world and those who depend on them.
About FSC
FSC is the most rigorous international standard for responsible forestry. FSC certified forests conserve biological diversity, water resources and crucial ecosystems. The FSC standard also upholds worker rights and supports economic prosperity in surrounding communities. The FSC Chain of Custody certification ensures that certified wood products are tracked from forest to final product (and if applicable, that qualified recycled materials are used), adding legitimacy to the FSC claim throughout the supply chain.
