AlphaGraphics achieves FSC multi-site chain of custody certificate

We are pleased to announce that our franchise business, AlphaGraphics Inc, will be the first US print and visual communications franchisor to obtain a FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Multi-Site Chain of Custody Certificate.

FSC certification requires a rigorous review of procurement processes to ensure that paper and wood products are purchased from sustainable sources.

The certificate, which will be effective from May 1, is the company's first step toward obtaining FSC certification for all of its 229 US locations.

"As visual communication providers, our business centers consume a large volume of paper products, and we are very sensitive to the need to use sustainable sources that support responsible forest management," explains Kevin Cushing, CEO of AlphaGraphics.

"FSC Certification demonstrates our commitment to environmentally responsible practices, and it allows our franchisees to demonstrate their commitment as well."

AlphaGraphics along with our other businesses - Pindar Set and Pindar Graphics -helps us to play an increasingly prominent role in helping to create a more sustainable environment for the future.
