Seaman Paper partners with NGO Canopy

As more and more companies begin their transition from plastic packaging to fiber-based or paper packaging, we recognize the importance of sourcing these fibers as responsibly as possible to protect and conserve Ancient and Endangered Forests. At Seaman Paper, we believe that sustainable business leadership is a fundamental component of long-term transformation, which is why we are excited to officially be a Canopy Pack4Good partner.

Canopy is an environmental non-profit organization working with hundreds of companies through robust sourcing policies to reduce the impact on the world’s Ancient and Endangered Forests – which are critical to biodiversity, carbon sequestration, clean drinking water, wildfire risk reduction, and the well-being of indigenous communities.

“Providing a truly sustainable and responsible paper packaging strategy to our customers requires that we continue to rigorously vet the source of our fibers and track our supply chain. The work we do with Canopy will ensure that we safeguard at-risk forests and confirm that the environments and communities related to the origin of our paper products remain prosperous and healthy,” said Ken Winterhalter, CEO of Seaman Paper.

As we continue to live our mission – People, Paper, Packaging, for a sustainable world – Seaman Paper is proud to partner with Canopy in their goal to eliminate Ancient and Endangered Forest fiber from paper packaging and support the development of next-generation fiber solutions.

Sustainable forest management and fossil substitution in key role to enable EU’s green growth

European Commission has yesterday, 14th of July, published an extensive set of proposals on climate and energy policies, framing the pathway to carbon neutrality by 2050. These proposals begin a lengthy process to agree on the details. UPM is committed to supporting EU’s climate goals and has committed to the UN’s Business Ambition for 1.5°C. “We are in a unique position to offer positive climate impact through sustainable forestry, emission reductions in operations and by providing climate-friendly alternatives for substituting fossil consumption. The proposal sets a clear signal for the need to reduce emissions and focus on zero-emission energy”, states Stefan Sundman, Vice President, Public Affairs, UPM. In recent years, UPM has strongly invested in innovations that provide renewable drop-in solutions to substitute fossils. For example, UPM has invested heavily in biorefineries that provide new sustainable alternatives in advanced biofuels and biochemicals.

Resolute has been consistent on the need for inclusive discussions, negotiations, and compromise solutions, developed in collaboration with governments, communities, workers and First Nations that lead to the most sustainable outcomes. And we welcome this change of heart by Greenpeace.
