Positive environmental balance sheet
Faber-Castell is carbon-neutral
You don’t have to be a visionary to see the enormous importance of preserving natural resources for future generations.
That is why 25 years ago Faber-Castell launched a forest project in Brazil that still sets the standard today.
Covering a total area fo some 100 square kilometers, our own pine plantations provide a source of raw materials for
the manufacture of pencils and crayons and have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as “environmentally
appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically valiable”. Over the past three years the Faber Castell
Group has managed to cut its total CO 2
emissions by half to 20 607 tonnes through the use of regenerative energies!
The company’s own forests absorb several times this amount – 100 000 tonnes. We are proud of the fact that this
makes Faber-Castell Group one of a handful of companies whose carbon emmissions are offset several times over.
