In 2022 we celebrate nine years of chain of custody certification (CoC), as one of the first label manufacturer in our region to have achieved these certifications. Hally Labels has been a key driver in the development of certified papers within our supply chain, many of which are included in our abundant material portfolio. 

CoC certification is the mechanism that is used to track the wood material from certified forests, responsible sources, and reclaimed material to any point along the supply chain. Each company throughout the process – including us – must be certified to maintain the integrity of that product. So why is this important? Certification allows for your consumers to identify and choose products that support responsible forest management and make an informed purchasing decision. 

We have created a helpful infographic that explains how the CoC process works, from the forest through to our labels. You can click here to learn more about this sustainable journey.  

Types of certification 

At Hally Labels we have achieved two CoC certifications: Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification™ (PEFC™).  

FSC is an international organisation that promotes the responsible management of the world’s forests, bringing together experts from the environmental, economic and social spheres. For over 25 years, their forest management certification has confirmed that the forest is being responsibly managed whilst their CoC certification ensures a continuous and credible supply chain for certified product.  

PEFC is a leading not-for-profit global alliance of national forest certification systems dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management through independent third-party certification. This ensures that forest-based products that have been sourced from sustainably managed forests are tracked and identified throughout the supply chain.  

We have proudly held our FSC and PEFC CoC certifications since 2013 and supply billions of labels each year on certified paper materials.  

Last week we were pleased to be a part of FSC® Forest Week, promoting the responsible management of the world’s forests. We celebrated our nine years of FSC certification with morning tea, serving green-themed treats of course! Be sure to check out our photo gallery.⁠
