Suttle-Straus Receives FSC Certification

It’s Easy Being Green at Suttle-Straus -- Thanks
To Its New Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certification

Suttle-Straus, one of southern Wisconsin’s leading providers of fullservice communications solutions, has continued its long-time commitment to the environment by announcing its certification (SW-COC- 002503) from SmartWood to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), recognizing the company’s use of paper from responsibly managed forests.

“At Suttle-Straus, we’ve always been concerned about the environment, and we’re glad that important environmental issues, such as those involving the world’s forests, are finally receiving the broad attention they deserve -- so we are very pleased to have received this official FSC Certification,” said John Berthelsen, president and CEO of Suttle-Straus.

The FSC is a global organization that has promoted responsible forestry since 1993 through standards that protect forests and their vital role in the ecosystem while allowing loggers and paper-related businesses to survive as well. FSC Certification means that paper products have passed through an unbroken “chain of custody” from responsibly managed forests through FSC-Certified pulp manufacturers, paper manufacturers, paper merchants and printers.

“Many of our customers share our deep concern about the environment and want to make sure that their printed materials are produced using paper created through responsible forest management. The FSC ‘checkmark tree’ logo which we can now proudly display and reproduce will be a visible sign of our ongoing commitment in that area,” Berthelsen said.

Services provided by the company include one through six color sheetfed and web printing, digital imaging, mailing, web linked ordering and distribution services. The company specializes in corporate communications, direct mail, advertising materials, and multi-color printing.
