2/4/2008

Cemit Interactive Media is the first Italian company in the direct marketing industry to obtain FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Quality System certification.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organization for promoting responsible management of the world’s forests.

FSC’s certification bodies accredited Cemit with a Chain of custody (COC) certificate.

Chain of custody certification provides a guarantee about the production of FSC-certified products. Chain-of-custodý is the path taken by raw materials from the forest to the consumer, including all successive stages of processing, transformation, manufacturing and distribution.

From a customer perspective, the FSC label represents a promise that is being made to them. Chain of custody standards are the mechanism FSC has to ensure that 'promise' is delivered.
