Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
FSC is a nonprofit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the Earth’s forests. The council regulates the practices that could harm or displace the homes of people and wildlife, such as illegal and non-sanctioned logging.

• Chain of custody certification signifies that the paper Wilen Press uses comes from companies committed to the use of sanctioned resources that do not endorse illegal logging practices.
   

• As an FSC certified provider, Wilen Press can assure clients that FSC-specified paper is manufactured from trees grown within a designated forest as part of a responsible re-growth program.
   

• When the Wilen Group’s clients choose to print on FSC-certified paper, they are welcome to use the FSC and Rainforest Alliance logos on their printed materials. 

Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) 
SFI-certified products are produced at paper mills that utilize SFI-certified fibers. Wilen Press takes part in this initiative in accordance to clients’ orders. 

• Located in Florida, Wilen Press continues to keep the environment in mind when disposing of raw materials and by-products from its manufacturing process. When possible, paper, inks, plates and chemical solutions are recycled with local service providers.
  

• All Wilen Group employees are asked to involve themselves in the “green” program to insure each person is doing his or her part to preserve the Earth’s resources. 

Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) 
PEFC is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization that focuses on sustainable management of the world’s forests by ensuring that the same high standards of sustainability are applied by all its endorsed certification systems around the globe.
