Our Commitment to Sustainability
Fortis Trading is proud to operate in the renewable paper packaging industry, where sustainability is at the core of our business. We actively promote responsible practices that protect the environment and support a healthier planet.
We proudly hold Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC™) certification. Over 150 million hectares of forest worldwide are certified according to the rigorous Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards. FSC is supported by major NGOs, recognized by consumers, and trusted by businesses. www.fsc.org
Because sustainability is more than a commitment—it’s the driving force behind our vision for a healthier planet and a stronger future for all.
The FSC system promotes the conservation of biodiversity in certified forests. FSC pioneered the concept of High Conservation Values (HCV) and requires their conservation. These include habitats for rare, threatened, or endangered species, critical ecosystem services, and community needs and cultural values. Independent, peer-reviewed studies show that FSC-certified forests support greater plant and mammal diversity than uncertified, logged forests. www.fsc.org
FSC Chain of Custody Certification means that Fortis Trading’s forest supply chain is unbroken for our FSC-certified products and supports responsible forestry. It confirms that the forest-based products we use come from well-managed FSC-certified forests, or other reclaimed or controlled sources. This is checked through independent, third-party evaluations.
Most of our products are available with FSC™ certification on request. By choosing FSC-labelled products, you help support transparency and accountability in forest supply chains verified through independent evaluations.
