At CEWE, Sustainability is deeply embedded in our company's DNA, and we embrace five key dimensions to ensure our commitment. Discover more about how we make our products more sustainable, and our values in doing ethical and responsible business.
All products that have wood fibre content, such as paper, cardboard or wood, can be FSC® certified if they meet the right standards.
We recognise and accept this criticism. Nevertheless, the FSC® is the most demanding seal for paper and wood products and is still supported by major environmental protection organizations. Therefore, the FSC® certification of our products is the best we can do for sustainable forest management.
Plastic film is used to protect the product from damage. In this way, complaints are kept to a minimum. This leads to a reduction in the paper that would be consumed by reprinting a damaged order. We are looking for alternatives to replace the plastic packaging with a more environmentally friendly material.
There are various reasons for this. Occasionally, we have to use small quantities of materials that are not yet certified for some of our products. 100% of the materials used must be certified in order to display the FSC® seal. In other cases, we simply have to adapt our processes so that they comply with all new guidelines during the annual FSC® audit. We are working hard to achieve this.
We support a variety of environmental projects and have manaintained close working relationships with several partners to help us achieve our sustainability goals. Please see our sustainability reports for more information.
A CEWE PHOTOBOOK is built to last so that it can bring joy to multiple generations. It stands for long-lasting quality. Since 2016, we've supported the Kasigau Wildlife Corridor to offset all unavoidable emissions with a forest protection and reforestation project in Kenya. In addition, all CEWE PHOTOBOOK formats are FSC® certified.
