ITC gets Forest Stewardship

Kolkata, Mar 16 : India's largest integrated pulp and paper and paperboard manufacturing facility of ITC at Bhadrachalam has been awarded the FSC Chain of Custody certificate.

It is the most widely respected certification for responsible fibre sourcing around the world. This certification provides a unique competitive edge to ITC's finepapers and paperboards in an increasingly environment-conscious world, said the company.

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world's forests.

Along with being India's first company to be invited to be a member of the WWF's Global Forest and Trade Network (WWF GFTN), ITC also has a sustainable social and farm forestry programme that has now greened over 100,000 hectares of land.
