Agxa Achieves FSC Chain Of Custody Certification
The Most Rigorous International Standard for Responsible Forestry
agxa, an AG International company, is an international trade and offshore business entity operating in Australia, Sri Lanka, India, and Singapore with principal networks in Asia, Europe and North America. It has now gained the most credible certification in the forest trade – Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody Certification through SCS Global Services.
FSC is the most rigorous international standard for responsible forestry. FSC certified forests conserve biological diversity, water resources and crucial ecosystems. The FSC standard also upholds worker rights and supports economic prosperity in surrounding communities. FSC Chain of Custody Certification ensures that certified wood products are tracked from forest to final product (and if applicable, that qualified recycled materials are used), adding legitimacy to the FSC claim throughout the supply chain.
agxa is the holder of FSC CoC Certificate SCS-COC-006137 with the Trademark License No. FSC-C138166.
Highlighting the importance of ethical and socially responsible business entities, Anton Godfrey, Founder and Executive Chairman of agxa said “agxa thrives to excel in customer service whilst maintaining world-class standards in every aspect. As part of this exercise we have now achieved the FSC CoC Certification that will certainly add value to our Printing, Publishing and Packaging cluster.”
Agxa represents a diversified portfolio specializing in energy resources, pulp and paper, technology and futures-sugar, global offshore and outsourcing.
