FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
K/P Corporation awarded forest stewardship council chain-of-custody multi-site certification
Certification now achieved by K/P facilities in Northern California, Oregon and Washington
SAN RAMON, CA – October 29, 2007 – K/P Corporation, a leading marketing technology solution provider, announced today that it has earned Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) multi-site Chain-of-Custody (CoC) certification. In addition to its Washington locations, which were originally awarded certification in May, K/P facilities in San Leandro, Sacramento and Stockton, CA, as well as Salem, OR, can now provide products printed with the prestigious FSC label.
Chain-of-Custody is the path taken by raw materials harvested from an FSC-certified source to the end consumer, and includes the different stages of processing, manufacturing and distribution. Certification confirms that the end product can be accurately identified and traced back to a forest that has been FSC-certified.
To pass FSC audits and achieve CoC certification, K/P developed and documented procedures regarding CoC and product labeling, then trained personnel to provide Chain-of-Custody for FSC-certified products and to maintain the integrity of the FSC trademark. With this latest achievement, K/P continues to demonstrate its steady support toward responsible forestry, as well as its commitment to customers who are interested in promoting their corporate social responsibility.
“Concerns about our global environment are continuing to grow, so it has become increasingly important both to us and to our customers to develop more eco-friendly business practices” said Susan Kelly, president and CEO, K/P Corporation. “With the expansion of the FSC Chain-of-Custody certification to our facilities in Northern California and Oregon, K/P has taken another progressive step forward in our ongoing efforts to maintain environmentally sound operations.”
