Tetra Pak has secured Forest Stewardship Council’s (FSC) Chain of Custody (CoC) certification for all of its converting plants and market companies.

FSC is an international, non-governmental organisation that promotes responsible management of the world’s forests.

Its CoC certification enables traceability of wood fibres through the supply chain, providing assurance that any products bearing the FSC logo support forest management that adopts environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management practices.

"Tetra Pak’s certification was one of FSC’s largest multi-site certifications, covering a total of 92 facilities worldwide."
