The WWF Guide to Buying Paper

From packaging paper to office paper and tissues, the new WWF Guide to Buying Paper makes it easy and straightforward for any organization to source responsibly produced paper products for their business needs and to reduce their environmental footprint.

It includes practical tips covering the issues of responsible forest management, efficient paper use, pollution and climate change and includes the easy to use WWF Paper Scorecard to evaluate the environmental performance of current and future suppliers across these themes. Paper buyers should ask their suppliers to rate themselves using the Scorecard and share the results.

The need for a buyers’ guide to responsible paper purchasing and use emerged from a “think tank” with the major paper buyers Canon, IKEA, Lafarge, McDonald’s and Unilever. WWF, with years of experience on responsible purchasing strategies for paper and wood products through the WWF Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN), has developed this guide to respond to this need.
