Founded in
1999, the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) is an
independent, non-profit, non-governmental organisation which promotes
responsible and sustainably managed forests through independent third party
certification.
PEFC
certification strengthens Dalton's
position in the local market as a stable and credible source of papers to suit
all end needs. It's also reflective of their market-leading approach to service
excellence, following such initiatives as when, in 2005, Dalton, along with Spicers,
became the first paper merchant to be certified under the Forest Stewardship
Council (FSC) Chain of Custody scheme.
While some
in the marketplace see PEFC and FSC as competing entities, Dalton regards the dual
endorsement as yet another opportunity to put its renowned delivery network to
good use for the benefit of its customers, with a greater range of
environmentally responsible paper grades to choose from.
Dalton holds PEFC
certification number SGS-PEFC/COC-0160.
The
full list of available paper grades will filter into the market over the coming
months.
