FSC® & PEFC™ Accreditation: Responsible Paper, Done Properly

At Clyde Paper & Print, responsible sourcing isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s fundamental to how we operate and has been for over 40 years.

We’re pleased to confirm that we successfully passed our most recent FSC® and PEFC™ audit with zero non-conformances. We’ve been accredited since 2010 and are audited annually to ensure our processes, suppliers and systems continue to meet the highest environmental standards.

What Our Certification Really Means

Our accreditation is a Chain of Custody (CoC) certification. This allows us to trace the origin of our paper, pulp and ultimately the timber supplier who supplied the raw material for our products.

In practical terms, this gives our customers confidence that:

  • Paper is sourced from responsibly managed forests
  • Suppliers follow strict environmental and ethical controls
  • No illegally harvested timber is used
  • Full traceability is maintained from forest to finished paper

This isn’t just about compliance — it’s about transparency and accountability in a supply chain that matters.

Why This Matters for Your Business

If you’re producing printed materials, stationery or marketing collateral, sustainability claims must be backed up by verified sourcing.

By working with an accredited paper merchant like Clyde Paper & Print, you can legitimately state that your paper is FSC® or PEFC™ certified. If paper is purchased through a non-accredited supplier, those claims cannot be made — regardless of where the paper originally came from.

For many organisations, this is increasingly important for:

  • Corporate sustainability goals
  • Public sector and tender requirements
  • Brand credibility and customer trust

Paper With Integrity

With over 40 years of experience supplying paper to commercial printers, educational institutions and businesses across the UK, our approach has always been simple: quality paper, sourced responsibly, supplied with integrity.

From coated and uncoated stocks to recycled and specialist papers, we work closely with trusted mills and manufacturers to ensure performance, consistency and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.

Our FSC® and PEFC™ accreditation is just one part of a wider commitment to long-term thinking, reliable supply, and helping our customers make informed, responsible choices.

We believe that paper should be part of the solution, not the problem.
