Our certifications
To ensure and obtain an objective assessment of our sustainability efforts, we have chosen to certify ourselves according to several different standards. We undergo regular audits conducted by licensed, impartial auditors to ensure we meet these standards.
FSC – Material awareness, Sustainable forestry, and Good working conditions
Birch is an important part of Swedish nature, and it gives an incredibly beautiful and sustainable material that has become a hallmark of Scandinavian design. For us, it is essential that forests maintain their vital role for future generations.
We are FSC®-certified, which means we purchase wood and wood fiber products from FSC®-certified suppliers. By using FSC®-certified wood and wood fiber material in our products, we ensure that the wood material we use comes from forests that are managed sustainably and responsibly.

ISO – Quality, environment, and safety
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide organization that develops standards for companies to facilitate the manufacturing, development, and trade of products and services. The goal of ISO certification is for companies to continually improve their processes and ensure that all laws and requirements are followed.
Formpress is certified according to three different ISO standards. ISO 9001 is a quality management system that outlines how to continuously improve and adjust your operations to meet customer needs. ISO 14001 is an environmental management system aimed at helping companies minimize their negative impact on the environment. ISO 28000 is a security management standard for the supply chain, aimed at managing security risks within transportation and logistics.
