HILLSIDE, IL, Aug 11, 2008 -- Creative Automation, a leader in direct mail printing and database management services, announced today that they have obtained Chain of Custody Certifications from the Forest Stewardship Council(R) (FSC) and the Sustainable Forestry Initiative(R) (SFI). The FSC and SFI Certifications were awarded through SGS Systems and Services Certification, an internationally accredited certifier, after a complete inspection and audit of Creative Automation's facilities and processes. The FSC and SFI Certifications will be valid through July 14, 2013 and July 21, 2013 respectively.

Chain of Custody Certification is the process of tracking and recording the possession and transfer of wood and fiber from the forests of origin through the different stages of production.

"Having these certifications in place not only allows us to do something positive for the environment, but they also give us the ability to offer our clients more options when it comes to accomplishing their own green initiatives," stated Arun Veluchamy, President of Creative Automation. "Since many people in the industry are still learning about these certifications and processes, we are glad to offer support to inform and educate about the benefits of the Chain of Custody."
