Home About Us Towel Tissue Products Environment & Community News Contact Us Environment & Community Responsible safety and environmental stewards Although our ownership has changed over the years, our commitment to safety and our environmental footprint remains steadfast. We are committed to proactively protecting human health and the environment. We operate our business in a manner that consciously safeguards our employees, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which we do business. The White Mountains of New Hampshire are where we work, live and play. We have a strong record of environmental performance, and do everything we can to ensure we operate with a mindset of stewardship and sustainability. This commitment has led to us achieving numerous certificate statuses. Currently we have certification with the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), and SFI (Sustainable Forestry Initiative). These organizations all promote sustainable practices in and related to the forest industry.
