Corporate Social Responsibility
FiberMark’s “Naturally Creative” tagline links the company’s materials to the natural world, where we find inspiration for our textures and colors and is a key element of the company’s philosophy, underscoring its deep, ironclad commitment to preserving the environment. Here at FiberMark, terms like “green practices,” “sustainable” and “conservation” aren’t merely buzzwords; rather, they reach to the very essence of the company’s operational principles, especially those that regard the preservation of our precious natural resources and the environments they thrive in.
When it comes to taking care of the environment, FiberMark focuses on finding “naturally creative” ways to make its operating facilities and products more environmentally friendly. From the efforts of the environmental “Heroes” at our Brattleboro manufacturing facility, to the achievement of ISO09001, ISO18001 and ISO14001 registration in the Red Bridge, UK facility, FiberMark employees are striving every day to develop and implement creative, innovative approaches to limit the company’s environmental footprint and honor its commitment to the environment.
Experience and innovation make FiberMark the choice of world-leading brands.
We achieve this through source reduction and design solutions. For example, our in-house designers reengineered expandable file folders, reducing the amount of reinforcement material needed. And our R&D team has developed biodegradable and recyclable products that can be made with renewable cellulose or postconsumer recycled fiber.
