GOING GREEN!

As part of our overall sustainability initiatives, Hart Graphics has chosen to comply with the principles and requirements of Chain-of-Custody programs for the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC). We are audited yearly by an independent 3rd party to ensure our customers that we meet these requirements. Forest certification programs provide an assurance mechanism to purchasers of wood and paper products that the wood used in the products comes from sustainably managed forests. Sustainably managed forests are those whose supply chain participants implement performance standards based on internationally agreed environmental, social and economical requirements.

By subscribing to these principles and disciplines, we are supporting paper manufacturers that:

• Protect endangered and high conservation value forests
• Guarantee that no more wood is harvested than is re-grown
• Trees are replanted or naturally regenerated after harvesting
• Integrates social concerns including the right of indigenous communities worldwide
• Encourage local employment
• Guarantee that the forests are maintained as habitat for wild animals and plants
• The functions of the forest for the protection of soil and climate are protected

Hart Graphics is also FSC certified by the Rainforest Alliance.

By using FSC/RA, SFI, or PEFC certified paper, Hart Graphics Inc. is preserving precious natural resources.
