OGCP supports responsible well-managed forestry. We encourage our customers to use papers from companies that have independently been certified by organizations like the Forest Stewardship Council. The Rainforest Alliance estimates that illegally harvested timber exceeds that of legally harvested from some countries. The FSC is strengthening their certification process to make it more difficult for companies to use illegally harvested timber. Please support these efforts by asking for FSC Certified Papers and by doing business with printers who support and encourage the use of these papers.
