ForestEthics : Protect Forests and Our Climate

Use our Green Grades 2009 to inform your paper purchasing decisions

Since 2007, ForestEthics has teamed up with Dogwood Alliance to create the Green Grades office supply report card to inform American consumers and large purchasers of office supply products about which companies� paper practices safeguard the environment and the world�s forests.

Download the .pdf of the full report card here >>

We also have a pocket guide available for you to use and to share with your friends family and colleagues. Download the .pdf of the pocket guide version of report card here >>

Drawing from a company survey and our own research, the report card rates the office companies on six forest-related environmental measures, including the extent to which they avoid selling paper from Endangered Forests and other controversial sources, and to which they instead promote paper from certified well-managed forests and recycled fiber. You can see the full press release here >>

Some of the following companies get A's, some companies fail, and some fall in between: Amazon.com, FedEx Office, Office Depot, OfficeMax, PaperlinX, Staples, Target, Unisource, United Stationers, WalMart, and Xpedx. Get the full story on the performance of these companies here.

You can also view and/or print the report card below. Use the zoom or toggle full screen tool for easier viewing.
