BRANOpac again successfully FSC certified

Once again, auditors from “SCS Global Services Europe” were able to convince themselves that BRANOpac GmbH from Lich has demonstrably produced according to the current standards.

FSC

Cherishing and respecting our natural environment is second nature for us and begins with the sourcing of our base paper. Most of our papers are made of material from well-managed, FSC®-certified forests and other controlled sources. We protect the environment that we love so that future generations will also be able to enjoy its beauty and the resources that are so important for us. This begins with our base paper and ends with the finished BRANOpac products. This is where the FSC® certification comes in.  

Last week, two SCS Global Services Europe auditors visited us to get an idea of ​​the standards at BRANOpac. In doing so, they targeted the areas of procurement, manufacturing and sales. Repeated proof could be provided that the product chain in the manufacturing and service stages up to the further processing and logistics is gapless and thus complies with the FSC® standards. The products manufactured by BRANOpac are also listed in the worldwide FSC® database and can thus be found at any time by those interested in sustainability. Included in the certificate are the development, processing and sale of VCI anti-corrosive papers and cardboard, siliconized food papers and cartons as well as special technical papers and cartons using the transfer system.  

The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is a global, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of responsible forest management worldwide. FSC defines standards based on agreed principles for responsible forest stewardship that are supported by environmental, social, and economic stakeholders. To learn more, visit www.fsc.org

In addition to the FSC® and PEFCTM certificate, all work processes are certified in accordance with ISO 14001 environmental management and around a quarter of our annual power consumption is met by our own photovoltaic system. As well as working with renewable energy, it is of enormous importance for us to reduce pollutant emissions - which is why we installed a regenerative afterburning system back in 2010 with a view to reducing these emissions and minimising energy costs. This is inspected regularly by an independent assessor. Not for nothing two of BRANOpac's key messages are "Paper is the Future - BRANOrost and FERROGARD" and "BRANOpac - Naturally Protected".
