Neenah Releases 2021 Update on Environmental, Social, and Governance Report

Neenah, Inc. (NYSE: NP), a leading global manufacturer of specialty materials focused on filtration, specialty coatings, engineered materials, and imaging and packaging released an update to its 2021 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report which highlights the ways in which Neenah is enabling sustainable practices that prioritize the safety and well-being of employees, our communities and environment.

The report details the progress we’ve made in the last three quarters including:
*Achieving a full-year 30% improvement in recordable incident rates in our facilities, as we aspire to reach zero injuries
*Establishing long-term goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions as part of our broader strategy to reduce our environmental impact
*Expanding our portfolio of environmentally preferred products and receiving several new certifications from the U.S. Department of Agriculture
*Participating in national and regional initiatives that leverage the resources and influence of business to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion
*Updating the charters of our three Board of Director committees to further define the Board’s role in ESG oversight
*Executing our first global employee engagement survey and creating a plan to put employee insights into action

This ESG report is a companion piece to the March 2021 release of the Neenah Corporate Sustainability Report. When reviewed together, the two publications present a full picture of our ESG commitments and achievements. We plan to release a full 2022 report based on Global Reporting Standards (GRI), later this year.

Closing the gap between reality and perception at the World Forestry Congress

“The knowledge gap between forestry actors and society in Korea can be narrowed down through constructive communications: our event contributes meaningfully to the overall country effort,” said Mr Byungki Ahn. Mr Ahn, Director of Forest Policy Division, Service, was speaking at the KFCC-PEFC Customer Relationship & Business Strategy Meeting side event, held on the first day of the XV World Forestry Congress (WFC). “The Korean forestry sector has its specific history. While Korea has had success in forest restoration, there are still relatively strong public concerns on forest use, due to the memory of the devastated forest after the Korean war,” Mr Ahn explained. “A lot of work needs to be done to ensure that forest use is socially acceptable. KFCC is the system that can reassure the public that wood-based products are produced sustainably.”

Resolute Forest Products: Pushing Back Against Progressive Bullies

An editorial, “Pushing back against progressive bullies,” which appeared in The Wall Street Journal on March 18, 2016, provides an interesting synopsis of the events between Resolute and Greenpeace and concludes: “Greenpeace has tried to contain the Resolute case and ensure it only affects its Canadian operations, but Justice Fitzpatrick wisely understood that it is one global organization. Now the Divisional Court in Ontario is considering the issue and if Greenpeace loses again, the outfit could soon be coughing up the internal documents behind its various campaigns of fear and intimidation world-wide.”
