Suttle-Straus, one of southern Wisconsin’s leading providers of full-service communications solutions, has continued its long-time com-mitment to the environment by announcing its certification (SW-COC-002503) from SmartWood to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), recognizing the company’s use of paper from responsibly managed forests.
“At Suttle-Straus, we’ve always been concerned about the environ-ment, and we’re glad that important environmental issues, such as those involving the world’s forests, are finally receiving the broad at-tention they deserve — so we are very pleased to have received this official FSC Certification,” said John Berthelsen, president and CEO of Suttle-Straus.
The FSC is a global organization that has promoted responsible for-estry since 1993 through standards that protect forests and their vital role in the ecosystem while allowing loggers and paper-related busi-nesses to survive as well. FSC Certification means that paper products have passed through an unbroken “chain of custody” from responsibly managed forests through FSC-Certified pulp manufacturers, paper manufacturers, paper merchants and printers.
“Many of our customers share our deep concern about the environ-ment and want to make sure that their printed materials are produced using paper created through responsible forest management. The FSC ‘checkmark tree’ logo which we can now proudly display and repro-duce will be a visible sign of our ongoing commitment in that area,” Berthelsen said.
