Business Wire
R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (NYSE:RRD) announced today that
an additional fifteen of its printing facilities across the United
States have achieved Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) chain of
custody certifications. Certification requires a third party
independent audit and allows these facilities to display the SFI
logo on materials produced using raw materials that meet the SFI
standard. The newly certified facilities include book, retail
inserts, shorter run commercial printing, magazine, financial
printing, catalog, directory, and digital printing operations.
These facilities also earned Programme for the Endorsement of
Forest Certification recognition. �These certifications reflect RR
Donnelley�s continuing commitment to sustainability,� said John
Paloian, the company�s Chief Operating Officer. �They offer our
customers another option that complements the more than 120 Forest
Stewardship Council certifications that we have already achieved.
We are pursuing a range of programs that expand our
reduce-reuse-recycle model as we pursue our twin goals of operating
more efficiently and achieving more sustainable practices.� The SFI
Standard includes fiber sourcing requirements that promote
responsible forest management on all suppliers� lands. SFI�s
chain-of-custody certification is used to tell buyers how much
certified fiber is in a specific product. Its internationally
recognized sustainable forestry certification program is among the
largest in the world and is based on principles that promote
measures to protect water quality, biodiversity, wildlife habitat,
species at risk and forests with exceptional conservation value.
The PEFC Council (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest
Certification) is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental
organization that promotes sustainably managed forests through
independent third party certification. Its certification logo can
be printed on materials using qualifying papers. Daniel Knotts, RR
Donnelley Group President, said, �Customers who draw on the breadth
of our platform can turn to RR Donnelley for sustainability
certifications that reflect their own environmental efforts. We
will continue to support certification programs that embrace and
encourage responsible forest management across the world.� About RR
