Irelands leading trade printer, KC Print, has been awarded FSC Certification after an extensive auditing process.

The FSC certification is globally recognised as the gold standard for responsible forest management.

It ensures that paper and wood products originate from forests that are managed in a way that preserves biodiversity and supports local communities.

By achieving certification, KC Print, ensures its continued commitment to reducing environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards in quality.

Customers can now choose FSC certified materials for their print projects, confident that their choices support sustainable forestry and responsible supply chains.

They can also choose to carbon offset their print project with KC Print.

The Killarney company has grown to employ over 30 people and supplies books, magazines and printed material to customers across Ireland.

Sales Director, Aidan Quirke said: “Being sustainable is good business practice, by gaining certification we ensure that our customers are sourcing ethically and sustainably.
In addition, we have invested in solar panels and continue to invest in new equipment to reduce our carbon footprint,”

With the recent achievement of FSC certification, alongside its existing ISO 9001 Quality Management System accreditation, KC Print is placing continuous improvement and customer satisfaction at the very core of its operations.

The annual Killarney National Park Autumn Talk Series will return in October for six weeks.
