PM Co.

Description

PM Company is the first point-of-sale (POS) paper roll manufacturer in the United States to earn three prestigious environmental certifications -- Chain of Custody from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC); Certified Fiber Sources from Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI); and Chain of Custody from Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). Forestry Certifications Third-party forestry certifications provide structure to determine and recognize well-managed and sustainable forestry practices. These certifications provide professional standards for companies to operate under to achieve environmentally sustainable business. The certifications are also designed to provide consumer confidence that the products they purchase support environmentally sound practices – from the tree seedling through the product manufacturing and delivery processes. For PM Company, being certified means that the paper fiber it uses can be verifiably traced from a well-managed forest to a certified paper fiber producer, and from the fiber producer to PM Company’s plant where it is segregated and then converted into a certified paper roll. All PM Company’s certified paper rolls are clearly marked pursuant to a set of strict guidelines and standards. The Certification Process Certification involves a detailed on-site audit of a company’s processes and procedures by a third party certification firm working on behalf of the sponsoring environmental organization. Being certified can have two meanings: - And, secondly, certification can apply to a specific SKU or product from a company with certified processes. A company can be certified without having any certified products, so it’s important to review and understand individual environmental claims closely. Additionally, a company’s certifications must be audited and updated once a year to remain in effect. PM Company has three different forestry certifications, an achievement that took a coordinated team effort. In addition to creating an extensive set of policies and procedures as described above, Purchasing made numerous plant visits to review the certification policies and procedures of key fiber suppliers to further assure that the paper fiber PM Company purchases is indeed certified.
