The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a nonprofit organization that encourages responsible management of the world's forests by setting high standards to ensure forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial and economically viable way. While there are other organizations that work with a similar goal, we believe that the FSC promotes the most rigorous standards for responsible forest management.

Landowners and companies that sell forest products seek certification by independent certification organizations to verify to customers that they support forestry practices consistent with FSC standards. As an FSC certified printer, Lawton Printers is authorized to provide paper from FSC certified sources. The FSC logo can only be used on a print project when the paper, the paper merchant and the printer are all FSC certified.

This chain of custody certification is represented by the FSC logo, a symbol that says your print materials come from sustainable, FSC-certified forests. By supporting responsible forest management, you can demonstrate how your company is acting as a responsible corporate citizen.

Lawton Printers is also one of just 158 printers nationally (as of May 31, 2008) to be certified by SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative). The SFI program is based on the premise that responsible environmental behavior and sound business decisions can co-exist.

We are proud to offer our customers exceptional quality print products and unparalleled customer service. When you make the decision to go green at Lawton, you're making the most responsible printing decision possible, and we'll give you the environmental stewardship data to back it up.

Lawton Printers has always been family owned, and we're committed to creating a cleaner workplace for the health and well-being of our employees as well as doing our part to create a cleaner environment for our children and grandchildren.
