It’s important that sustainability doesn’t just become buzzword to us at Lyan Packaging. As a family run business, we do believe we have a moral obligation to do our part to protect and conserve the environment for our future generations and local communities.

The FSC ensures that forests are managed in ways that preserve their biodiversity, productivity, and ecological processes. By adhering to FSC standards, we support the moral imperative to protect natural habitats and maintain the earth’s ecological balance for future generations.

With more and more consumers caring about their environmental impact, businesses are rightly feeling the pressure to meet higher standards. That’s where FSC Chain of Custody (CoC) certification comes in.

This certification ensures that every piece of material, from the forest to the final product, comes from responsibly managed sources. For a packaging company like ours, having this certification means that every box, bag, or wrapper we produce is traceable back to an FSC-certified source. This gives our customers the confidence that the materials we use are sustainably and ethically sourced.

“At Lyan Packaging Supplies T/A Icertech, we obtained our FSC CoC back in 2023. We wanted to offer eco-friendly products and trace the materials to a certified source. We didn’t just stop at obtaining the certification for ourselves, but also actively engaged with our suppliers to encourage them to do the same,” shares Natalie Davies, QEHS Manager at Lyan Packaging Supplies.

As we strive to become more sustainable, reducing the environmental impact of our products is a key area of focus, but there are many other benefits associated with this certification:

• Builds Trust: The FSC label on your packaging shows your business’s commitment to sustainability, which helps build trust and loyalty with your customers.
• Enhances Market Access: More and more retailers and companies require FSC certification from their suppliers. With the FSC Chain of Custody, your business can enter these markets and stay competitive in a world that values eco-friendly choices.
• Mitigates Risk: The certification also helps reduce risks linked to illegal logging or unethical labor practices in the supply chain. By making sure all materials are from verified sources, your business can avoid potential legal and reputational issues.

The journey towards environmental responsibility is ongoing, and we remain dedicated to exploring innovative solutions and setting higher benchmarks for ourselves in the years to come.
