Diamond Packaging Receives Forest Stewardship Council Certification from the Rainforest Alliance

Diamond Packaging today announced that they have earned Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain-of-Custody certification from the Rainforest Alliance’s SmartWood program. This certification reflects a growing trend in the paper and printing industry of companies making more environmentally and socially responsible supply chain decisions.

The FSC is the global standard-setter in responsible forest management. Chain-of-Custody certification guarantees that wood that comes from certified, responsibly managed forestlands is tracked throughout the supply chain, from the forest to the consumer. Conscientious consumers can look for the FSC logo on wood products to know they are supporting forest management that protects biodiversity and supports local communities.

"FSC certification demonstrates our continued commitment to environmental responsibility," said Dennis Bacchetta, director of marketing at Diamond Packaging. "By utilizing paperboard sourced from responsibly managed forests, we can help businesses empower consumers to make more sustainable choices.” more
