To that end, our 2008 annual report is printed on recycled paper using 100 percent and 30 percent post-consumer waste with soy-based inks.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international certification and labeling system for products that come from responsibly managed
forests and verified recycled sources. Under FSC certification, forests are certified against a set of strict environmental and social standards,
and fibre from certified forests is tracked all the way to the consumer through the chain of custody certification system. This means forests,
pulp providers, mills, merchants and printers must all obtain FSC certification in order for a product to carry the FSC logo or label.
