Environmental conservation is one of the main motivations of our organization. The Chain of Custody certifications under FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) parameters ensure that our activities are carried out under strict controls and parameters of sustainable and responsible environmental behavior.
Under these principles, we have built a system that allows us to supply printed products manufactured with paper from controlled and sustainable sources, thus establishing our Chain of Custody commitment.
MailTecK has made a great effort to build a system that allows us to comply with the values of Chain of Custody, defining, process by process, our management system so that all the personnel of our organization and external collaborators, develop their activities under the criteria defined in it, whose pillars are supported by the requirements of the systems on which it is certified.
But we also work to fully comply with national labor legislation and international labor conventions, fully rejecting any labor model that involves child exploitation, forced labor, discrimination for any reason, inequality or lack of union/labor and bargaining rights, by carrying out an annual evaluation to monitor working conditions at MailTecK, which is subsequently audited by external certifiers.
The Chain of Custody certification leads us to this continuous improvement, required by the periodic evaluation of the system by certifying entities that verify compliance with the commitments required from the tree to the final product printed and placed on the market, through all the transformation processes.
The social responsibility of an organization is not only measured by annual activity reports and summaries, but must also be measured by day-to-day activity, with committed actions and in accordance with international PEFC and FSC® standards, as we do at MailTecK.
It is reflected in our integrated Quality, Environment and Chain of Custody system policy, that MailTecK sets as a priority in the acquisition of its raw materials such important aspects as:
- Illegal logging or trade of illegal timber or forest products;
- Violation of traditional and human rights in forestry operations;
- Destruction of high conservation values in silvicultural operations;
- Significant conversion of forests to plantations or non-forest uses;
- The introduction of genetically modified organisms in silvicultural operations;
- Violation of any of the fundamental ILO Conventions as defined in the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (no child labor, no forced labor, no discrimination and freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining).
Demanding from our suppliers the necessary requirements to guarantee that these circumstances do not occur in the place where the material from which we manufacture our products comes from.
Since 2014, our PEFC and FSC® chain of custody certification, certifies the sustainability of print jobs in any type of promotional or transactional campaign, helping our clients to convey to the market their respect for the responsible use of natural resources.
This Policy was approved by the CEO of MailComms Group in March 2024.
