About the data

Currently among the main certifications and reference standards are:

- Forest Stewardship Council� (FSC�). The FSC� logo designates wood products and derivatives from responsible forest management according to its international environmental and social standards. The certification consists of ten principles of sustainability that the wood or paper product must comply with: full evidence must be provided about the wood production chain, the wood must not come from protected forests or reserved areas, rights must be protected of indigenous tribes and the ecological balance of the forest area must be preserved in the long term.

- Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certifcation (PEFC �). The PEFC � logo distinguishes wood and paper products from sustainable forest management. PEFC �, from the English Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certifcation, is a transparent and independent system that guarantees sustainable forest management. The PEFC � regulation encompasses environmental, economic and social aspects that must be fulfilled as a precondition for the PEFC � logo to be awarded. For example, no more trees can be cut than remain and forests must be a safe space for animals and plants. Furthermore, the rights of people who live and / or depend on the forest must be protected. Compliance with these requirements is periodically verified by independent organizations.

- The EU Ecolabel. The EU ecolabel was created by the European Commission in 1992 and identifies products and services that have a low environmental impact compared to other similar products.

Examples of elements in the store and office are promotional material (brochures, catalogs, ...), office material, paper bags, fruit and vegetable packaging, gift packaging, tickets (cash, cut sections, parking ,. .).

What we consider as the sustainable use of paper is that which guarantees the responsible management of forests. This today can only be accredited by reference and highly recognized certifications such as FSC, PEFC and ECOLABEL.
However, there is another even more sustainable policy considered in this question that is the use of the famous 5Rs of the Circular Economy (Recycle, Reuse, Replace, Reduce or Reject the paper consumed by distributors in their stores and offices

We will assign a "" YES "" to this question if:

- The company declares to use certified sustainable or recycled paper in its materials in commercial stores or offices, or it applies policies to reduce its consumption or eliminate it with digitization processes.
