Sappi Fine Paper’s publication, @issue: published an article on corporate responsibility reports. These reports, which are printed by 90% of the top companies in Europe according to CorporateRegister.com, are published to address pertinent environmental, social, community and sustainability issues, define specific objectives, and benchmark progress. Sappi is a paper company and is of course, advocating companies print these reports (ok, they don’t say that directly; but that is my take on the article). However, I find it ironic that companies print these types of reports instead of distributing electronically. So now we are adding a printed publication to let our shareholders know how environmentally-friendly we are. This makes me laugh!

I think it is great if you choose to develop this report. Just find a way to distribute on line. The SEC does not require it; so publish it on-line!
