OXNARD, - This year marks the fifth anniversary and successful renewal of V3's Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) chain of custody (CoC) certification, a milestone that only a select few in the industry have achieved. To qualify, V3 completed a rigorous certification and assessment process overseen by leading independent auditor and certifier, Scientific Certification Systems (SCS).

V3's 2011 recertification confirms the company's continued ability to meet stringent tracking requirements for products carrying the FSC label. Since 2006, V3 has successfully demonstrated that its FSC-certified paper products come from responsibly managed forests and verified recycling sources in accordance with FSC standards for sourcing and procurement, inventory management, manufacturing, sales, invoicing and record keeping, V3's license code is FSC-C001755.

Mike Szanger, V3's vice president of sales and marketing, comments: "We're now entering our sixth consecutive year of FSC certification. I believe we were the seventh printer in the state to become certified at that time. This certification is just one example of our commitment to being environmentally responsible from the products and services we offer to our day-to-day operations."
