The world benefits when companies put responsible purchasing practices into place.

Chain of Custody (CoC) is the process of tracking certified wood fiber from the forest to the mill, from the merchant to the printer. It ensures the integrity of the supply chain, so specifiers can trust that the paper they print on came from responsibly managed forestlands.

Chain of Custody Certificates
In 2007, xpedx became the first paper merchant to be nationally certified for Chain of Custody to standards established by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). In 2008, xpedx added PEFC certification.
