CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY
SUSTAINABILITY IS AT THE ROOT OF EVERYTHING WE DO.
At MIDLAND, we don’t just talk about corporate sustainability—we live it. Navigating the complex global supply chain for paper and packaging products supports our sustainability mission. It’s not always easy, but the difference we make is real. Paper is the most recycled commodity in the world, and our industry’s practices ensure that more trees are planted than are harvested. Like you, we’re in this for the long haul. Together with forest certification bodies, suppliers, and organizations that share our vision, we’re creating a better world for future generations.

This innovative web-based application allows buyers of paper and paper-based packaging to evaluate the environmental performance of their supply chain. It’s easy to use and provides transparency into your supply chains.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF PAPER
We partner with suppliers who follow strict forest management standards, promote renewable energy, use recycled fibers, and support global forest certification. Together, we’re committed to reducing the environmental footprint of paper use and providing transparency about its impact.
