Since July 2020, our printing labs and our headquarters in Cologne, Germany, have been completely carbon neutral. This means that Pixum compensates unavoidable CO2 emissions of the both locations through certified climate protection projects.

We work together with the environmental organization in Germany called ClimatePartner to counterbalance emissions from both production and office processes. Together we support an Amazon forest conservation project in the Peruvian region Madre de Dios.

What does an FSC® certificate mean?

The FSC® certification system promotes an ecologically adapted, socially beneficial and economically viable management of the world's forests. This ensures that the needs of today's generation can be met without bringing the needs of future generations in danger.

An FSC® certificate guarantees complete transparency of the entire processing and trade chain from the forest wood to the customer. By purchasing FSC® certified products, you are making a direct contribution to sustainable, resource-conserving forestry and to the protection of our environment.

We at Pixum, not only focus on the quality of the photo products and service. We also make sure to be running an environmentally friendly and sustainable production. This especially applies to our customers' favouirte FSC® certified Pixum Photo Book, our Canvas as well as Pine Wood Prints.

FSC® stands for Forest Stewardship Council® and sees itself as part of a global community that sets a globally unified standard for sustainable and responsible forest management. The FSC® was founded in 1993 as a result of the environmental summit in Rio and is an international, non-profit organization with the aim of preserving the world's forests.

The regulations of the FSC® require that the entire processing and trade chain from the forest to the wholesaler is fully certified. By purchasing FSC® products, the certified company can make a direct contribution to improving the world's forestry.

The suitability of a certified company is checked annually by an independent certifier. The data collected during the company audit form the basis for the decision on giving or prolonging the certification. FSC® certificates are valid for a period of five years.
