FSC Certified Printer

The Forest Stewardship Council is a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the world's forests. Elk Grove Graphics is proud to be a certified member which allows us to distinguish ourselves by promoting the ecological and social benefits of environmentally managed forests.

SFI Certified Printer

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative operates under the premise that responsible environmental behavior and sound business decisions can coexist. Elk Grove Graphics became certified by undergoing a thorough and rigorous review of our operations. This certification demonstrates our dedication to the principles of sustainability in the products we produce.

We were one of the first companies in the Midwest to obtain both our FSC and SFI environmental certifications, and our ‘house stocks' for our conventional and digital presses are FSC certified papers. When you use a FSC or SFI certified paper, you and your stakeholders can be sure that the wood fiber in your printed materials was harvested and manufactured in a responsible manner.

We can assist you in choosing the best paper products and printing methods that will comply with your company's corporate sustainability practices. Please contact us, 847.439.7834, so we can help you communicate the appropriate message to your stakeholders.
