The £5m turnover, Enfield-based marketing communications company was granted the certification in December.

Noel Warner, managing director at Inc Direct, said "Inc Direct is continually looking at ways to reduce its environmental footprint and the FSC certification along with our ISO 14001 accreditation puts us a step closer in achieving this.

"A number of our clients were also asking for it and sooner or later it will become a prerequisite for the environmentally conscious client and an absolute necessity to gain new work."

Les Wakeman, quality assurance and compliance manager, has been key in implementing the standard at the company over the past 12 months. 

He said: "Inc Direct has a responsibility to their clients that we source our paper through responsible supply chains and this certification will clearly demonstrate that responsibility."

Inc Direct also has ISO 27001 certification and is hoping to attain ISO 9001 accreditation by the end of the year.
