Statement of Innova environmental policy

To assure that for future generations they will enjoy the beauty of our forests, all Innova papers are produced with 100% cotton linters and/or elemental chlorine free woodpulps from carefully managed, renewable forests. These products are produced to ISO 9706 standards for permanence and ISO 14001 environmental management standards. Many of our base papers are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified and we are working towards full compliance in the future.

FSC Accreditations (inc rewnewable resources policy)

FSC accreditation allows woodpulp used in our papers to be traced back to the forest it was sourced from. It ensures the source is renewable, therefore protecting our forests for future generations.

What is FSC?
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is a nonprofit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the world's forests. FSC sets high standards that ensure forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable way.
Landowners and companies that sell timber or forest products seek certification as a way to verify to consumers that they have practiced forestry consistent with FSC standards.

How does FSC work?
Independent certification organizations are accredited by FSC to carry out assessments of forest management to determine if standards have been met. These certifiers also verify that companies claiming to sell FSC certified products have tracked their supply back to FSC-certified sources. This chain-of-custody certification assures that consumers can trust the FSC label.

Why FSC?
Trusted environmental organizations including Greenpeace, National Wildlife Federation, The Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, and World Wildlife Fund all support and encourage FSC certification. Consumers wishing to support healthy forests and communities should look for and request the FSC label when purchasing wood or paper products.

What kind of products are certificated?
Any product made of solid wood or paper has the potential to be certified as long as wood used in the product originates from an FSC-certified source. There are currently more than 10,000 FSC-certified products available worldwide. Sample products include lumber, flooring, furniture, doors, decking, paper, cutting boards, and even guitars.
