Dutch newspaper printed on FSC certified paper
Dutch newspaper “Het Financieele Dagblad” (FD) is one the first daily newspapers in the world printed on FSC certified paper. With 2.5 million kilos of paper used every year, FD’s decision to be published on FSC certified paper is a landmark for FSC. In recognition of their commitment, FD was awarded last month with the Dutch FSC Award 2009 for their commitment to responsible forest management.
“With our choice of FSC, we’re sure that this comes from a legal and responsibly managed source,” said FD media group’s publisher and CEO Jacques Kuyf. The FSC logo will appear daily in the newspaper’s header. “With 1000 FSC certificates and the first FSC newspaper worldwide, the Netherlands are seen across the world as a front runner in the use of FSC paper and wood,” stated Bart van der Linden, Director of FSC Netherlands.
“Het Financieele Dagblad” is a well-established financial newspaper in the Netherlands with a circulation of over 65,000 and a history stretching back to the 18th century.
The FSC Award is an annual award given to companies and organizations that contribute in a special way to responsible forest management according to the principles of FSC.
FSC Netherlands is an independent non-governmental, non-profit organization and an endorsed FSC National Initiative active in the Netherlands. FSC Netherlands celebrated the 10th anniversary of their foundation in November 2009.
