Protect our forests

    Arjowiggins Creative Papers respects and actively protects primary forests.

    The Earth’s primary forests capture around 20% of carbon dioxide emissions around the world. Protecting our forests is essential to help our planet tackle global warming. This is why we are endorsing systematic forest regeneration by having all of our brands FSC certified.

  • All our FSC certified pulp suppliers plant at least one tree for each tree cut down. All our Creative Papers use wood fibre exclusively from FSC forests.

     

    Driven by our vision that paper could help to preserve the world’s forests, we decided to go a step further :
    In cooperation with the World Land Trust, we commit to preserving the primary forest. In 2009, 65 hectares of threatened Brazilian forest were protected and managed as part of the international conservation charity’s reserve.

     

  • Responsible forestry management is Arjowiggins Creative Papers’ commitment to the preservation and regeneration of our forests.

     

    We purchase Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified pulp because we believe only sustainable pulp should be used to make paper.

    The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent guarantee of respect for the environment and for social and economic criteria around the wood trade. Proof of sustainable sourcing, it demonstrates that our papers come from managed sources and not from illegally-logged timber or funding conflict. FSC is an internationally-respected, non-profit organisation that safeguards the world’s forests. Protecting wildlife habitat, respecting the rights of local communities, replanting trees and working to preserve the ecosystem.
