NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / October 26, 2022 / Our leadership in forest stewardship centers on two targets that are driving our progress toward our Vision 2030 goal.
The first target, to source 100% of our fiber from sustainably managed forests or recovered fiber, applies to the fiber we buy from a network of landowners and suppliers.
The second target, to conserve and restore 1 million acres - about 400,000 hectares - of ecologically significant forestland, is one we are pursuing both within and outside of our supply chains. Conservation and restoration are two areas where we can have a significant global impact through our long-standing partnerships with nonprofits such as World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and The Nature Conservancy.
Vision 2030
Goal: Lead forest stewardship efforts globally
Target: 100%
236,696 acres (23%) of ecologically significant forestland have been conserved and restored since 2019.
Target: 1 M
