Torraspapel extends its PEFC CoC certification to all its sites

Torraspapel has obtained the multi-site PEFC Chain of Custody (CoC) certification (14-33-00002) to assure all of its merchants and subsidiaries that the wood used in its pulp and paper manufacturing processes originates from responsibly-managed forests.

One of the key environmental goals of Torraspapel, part of the Lecta Group, consists in achieving CoC certification for its business operations. Currently Torraspapel holds PEFC and FSC CoC (SGS-COC-003753) certification for its coated paper and pulp production, and PEFC certification for its merchant and sales offices. During 2008 it plans to certify the CoC of its specialty paper and self-adhesive paper factories.

In addition to PEFC and FSC CoC certification, all of Torraspapel’s paper mills hold ISO 9001 quality certificates and ISO 14001 environmental certificates, and the company is working towards obtaining the European EMAS environmental certification.
