The RoArk Group Achieves FSC Certification
September 25, 2008

The RoArk Group, Inc. has achieved Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification after a complete audit and inspection of its printing facility in Rogers, Arkansas. The certification verifies that RoArk is part of a “Chain of Custody” that tracks certified paper products from the forest to the printer and ensures that FSC-certified products originate from well-managed forests.

“We are proud to be the first commercial printer in Northwest Arkansas (and one of the first in the state) to obtain our FSC certification.” said John Nichols, Director of Operations. “Being a good steward of the environment is very important to RoArk – and this certification, along with our other sustainability efforts, demonstrates that we take this responsibility seriously.”

RoArk’s Chain of Custody certification means that certain paper purchased by RoArk is segregated and documented as having originated in an FSC-certified forest, and therefore RoArk has the ability to produce environmentally responsible printed products by using FSC-certified paper.

RoArk clients may now choose to use FSC-certified paper and the FSC logo on their printed product to inform their customers of their choice to use forest-friendly paper stock. By becoming FSC certified, RoArk’s plant is part of a larger picture of FSC-certified forests, mills, merchants and other printers who all choose to be environmentally conscious and stand against irresponsible forestry practices.

This latest landmark achievement is part of a continuing effort by RoArk to preserve the environment.  To learn more about RoArk’s sustainability initiatives, visit www.roarkgroup.com/sustainability.
