With more than two billion pencils
per year, we are the world’s leading and the oldest manufacturer of
wood-cased pencils. 
Our own forests absorb more than 900,000 tonnes of CO2  and compensate the emissions of our production sites. 
Faber-Castell covers 85 percent of the global energy demand from renewable sources. 
 
We are commited to our Social Charta such as equal opportunities, equal treatment and the prohibition of child labour worldwide.
