OUR COMPANY

"Made with Care is an impressive commitment to take a more environmental approach to publishing. FSC UK is delighted that, as part of this initiative, Dorling Kindersley is increasing its range of books printed on FSC-certified paper.

Over half the world's commercial timber is consumed in paper manufacturing. Thus the most ethical companies in the publishing industry have great potential to benefit the world's forests, not only by purchasing their own paper from responsibly-managed sources, but also by the encouragement they give to others to do the same. Dorling Kindersley’s fine example is truly in the front rank." Charles Thwaites the Executive Director of the FSC UK Working Group
