Activities

1 Education Initiatives
To collaborate with schools and organizations to promote art education and nurture young
talent. Faber Castell India joined hands with Simple Education Foundation on their project
‘Simple Schools’ , an initiative that focuses on an innovative school transformation model
that is being implemented in various government schools in North India.

2 Sustainable Practices
Commitment to environmental sustainability is reflected in manufacturing processes and
materials. Sustainably manage 10,000 hectares of their own pine forests in Brazil, which
provide the raw material for their pencils. Every year, around 300,000 seedlings are planted
in their own forests.

The company meets 82% of its global energy needs using renewable sources and
offsets the carbon footprint of its production sites using their own forests. One third of
these forests remain untouched and provide habitats for around 660 indigenous animal
and plant species.

All the wood used to produce its wood-cased pencils comes from certified sustainable
sources that are 100% FSC or PEFC certified.

Faber-Castell are working towards manufacturing an ever-growing proportion of their

products and packaging from recycled materials.

3 Community Engagement
Few of the community engagement activities are mentioned below:

The well-being of children has always played an important role for Faber-Castell. This is
why Count Anton Wolfgang von Faber-Castell (8th generation) launched a children’s
fund foundation in 2001. Ever since then, this charity has supported humanitarian
children's aid projects in nurseries, schools, children's hospitals and orphanages,
especially in emerging countries. The “Little Flower” project, for example, is dedicated to
the care and support of young and adult patients in a small village in northern India.
"Faber-Castell Institute” offers a system of support and education measures, supported
by voluntary donations from our employees. The company doubles every Brazilian real
(R$) voluntarily donated by their employees, increasing the donation fund to support
communities where the need is greatest.

Crèche Dalela Tannús, Prata, Financial support for a local daycare centre in Prata for
around 160 children up to six years old. Currently, there are 17 carers looking after the
children.
