Our Responsibility

We recognize that as a global manufacturer of colour cosmetic, we have a great responsibility not only to our customers but also to the people we employ, their communities and the environment. We consistently develop new means to ensure we uphold our responsibilities, such as the Faber-Castell Code of Conduct and the Faber Castell Social Charter ensuring fair employment and working conditions. Since the eighties, the Faber-Castell Group reforestation project in Prata, Brazil sustainably manages 8,200 ha of forests with 4.5 million trees, not only providing wood for our production, but also playing an important role in providing habitat to native plant and animal species, protecting watersheds, and capturing CO2 from the atmosphere via photosynthesis.
