Antalis McNaughton has received the FSC Global Partner Award for achievements in promoting the FSC brand.

The awards are a celebration of FSC's growth in the past few years and were presented on 23 September in Germany.

Charles Thwaites, executive director of FSC UK, presented the award to the paper merchant for its contribution to promoting FSC over several years.

Matthew Botfield, environment manager for Antalis McNaughton, said the company has been working with FSC since 2003 when it first became certified for chain of custody in the UK.

He said: "Since then we have been developing initiatives to both improve the sustainability of our business and to help our customers do the same.

"Our partnership with FSC has been an important part of that journey, so I am really proud to accept this award for Antalis McNaughton."

Companies were awarded according to their field of work, and winners in the pulp and paper category also included Arctic Paper, ArjoWiggins, Leipa (Swedt), SCA and Van Houtum Paper.

The award comes on the back of Antalis achieving multi-site certification for both FSC and PEFC across 25 countries within the group earlier this month.

Antalis McNaughton is part of the Antalis Group and it is a fully-owned subsidiary of Sequana.
