What environmental certifications does Bradford & Bigelow hold?
Learn about B&B's environmental certifications and what they mean for your print project.
Bradford & Bigelow holds FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative) certifications and has been recognized by the Associated Industries of Massachusetts as an environmental leader within the state, identified as setting the standard for sustainability in managing social and environmental resources for responsible, long-term success.
FSC certification
FSC certification ensures that paper and wood-based materials used in production come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. When you print on FSC-certified stock at Bradford & Bigelow, your finished book can carry the FSC label, a recognized mark of responsible sourcing that many publishers and institutional buyers require.
SFI certification
SFI certification is a North American standard for responsible forestry and chain of custody. Like FSC, it provides assurance that paper stocks come from sustainably managed sources. SFI-certified paper is available at Bradford & Bigelow on request.
What the certifications mean for your project
If your organization has green procurement requirements, requires chain-of-custody documentation, or wants to communicate responsible sourcing to your audience, printing on FSC or SFI certified stock at Bradford & Bigelow supports those goals.
