RR Donnelley has a depth of supply-chain expertise, and is a subject matter expert on environmentally preferable products. We believe we are uniquely capable of partnering with our customers to help minimize impact to the environment.

Responsible Forestry Management
RR Donnelley provides customers with a variety of supply options that protect forest ecosystem health. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)®, Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) all promote sustainable forest management, reforestation and continuous improvement in standards and practices. In addition, these independent organizations employ guidelines consistent with our sustainability principles to ensure customers of an environmentally sound sourcing process.

RR Donnelley pursues Chain-of-Custody certifications for each organization. CoC certification allows companies that manufacture and market forest products to label them with the respective brand. This allows consumers to identify products that provide an assurance of social and environmental responsibility on the part of the producer.

Environmental Specifications
We have general environmental specifications (E-1 Specs) that are part of our purchasing program. These specification require that all materials purchased conform to the lowest permitted content of heavy metals, as outlined in the Coalition of Northeast Governors (CONEG) Toxic Law. These metals include: Lead, Cadmium, Mercury and Hexavalent Chromium.

Additionally, as part of our commitment to the environment and our customers, it is our policy that no product manufactured by RR Donnelley will contain or be manufactured with a regulated Ozone Depleting Substance.

These E-1 specifications are available for review here.

Product Substitution
We continue to explore ways to substitute more sustainable materials, from using inks that include soy, vegetable, or other renewable content, to making alcohol replacements in fountain solutions. We also make a range of recycled papers available to our customers.
