With the FSC sign Radeče papir d.d. shows its commitment and its contribution to environmental protection and sustainable development, which they consider part of their corporate social responsibility. Certification of wood tracing according to the FSC system enables the differentiation of wooden products that come from sources with responsible forest management, bringing the products added value. Furthermore, it enables traceability in the stores and wood processing enterprises that use wood from certified forests.
With the introduction of the FSC scheme, Radeče first of all enhanced the traceability of the whole business process from purchase, production to sales. In the year 2009, the share of the FSC fibres purchased in the company amounted to approximately 10% and they expect it to increase in the forthcoming year. Users also play an important role in the whole process. By buying FSC certified products, they encourage the producers to purchase fibres having a controlled origin.
