At Impact Labelling, our commitment to sustainability is not just about the labels we print; it extends to the very fibers of the materials we use. That’s why, where possible, we try to partner with suppliers who are members of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This collaboration ensures that our products contribute positively to the environment as well as meeting the highest standards of quality.
What is FSC?
The FSC is a global, non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting responsible forest management worldwide. It certifies forests based on rigorous environmental and social standards. Products bearing the FSC label are verified to come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.
Why Does It Matter?
- Environmental Protection: FSC certification ensures forests are managed sustainably, meaning they are preserved, respected, and regenerated. This stewardship helps protect ecosystems, preserves biodiversity, and ensures that forest functions remain intact.
- Social Impact: FSC certification also guarantees that local communities and indigenous peoples’ rights are respected. By choosing FSC-certified products, we support fair labor practices and contribute to the economic viability of these communities.
- Quality Assurance: FSC certification is not just about environmental and social impacts; it also signifies quality. Products sourced from FSC-certified forests are held to the highest standards, ensuring that they do not compromise on quality or performance.
- Market Credibility: Utilising FSC-certified products boosts our brand’s credibility. It shows our customers that we are committed to global standards of sustainability.
This leads to our use of labels such as RAFNXT+ paper label materials, which are sourced from sustainably managed FSC™ certified forests. The range uses less raw materials, energy and water, and generates less waste during its lifecycle as compared to standard labels.
Our Role and Responsibility
As a label printing company, we are in a unique position to influence the packaging industry towards more sustainable practices. By choosing and promoting FSC-certified suppliers, we not only ensure the sustainability of our products but also encourage other businesses to follow suit. This creates a ripple effect, increasing demand for sustainably sourced materials and encouraging more forests to be managed responsibly.
