Environment

Canada is one of the world’s leaders in sustainable forest management, ensuring that paper and print products sourced here are environmentally responsible choices. With 367 million hectares of forest, Canada has maintained a stable forest area for decades. Less than half of one percent has been deforested since 1990, and by law, any area harvested on public land must be reforested through planting or natural regeneration. This means that the forests used to make paper and print products are continuously renewed and remain a thriving, renewable resource.

Canada’s forests are not only renewable but also play a vital role in regulating the global climate. Forests absorb massive amounts of carbon dioxide, and that benefit continues when the wood is used for products like paper, which can be recycled to extend its environmental value. In 2021 alone, 625 million seedlings were planted, highlighting Canada’s commitment to keeping forests healthy and abundant. When businesses choose paper-based marketing or office products, they’re supporting a cycle that captures carbon and promotes sustainability.

To provide further confidence, Canada leads the world in third-party forest certification. Certification programs like the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®), and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) ensure that wood and paper products come from responsibly managed forests. In fact, 72% of Canada’s Crown forest land is certified, far surpassing global averages. This rigorous oversight means that when you purchase print materials, you can be assured they meet the highest standards of sustainability.

For our customers, this all adds up to peace of mind. Using paper for marketing, oilfield, or business supplies is not harmful to the environment—it is one of the most environmentally friendly mediums available. Canada’s forests are continuously renewed, heavily regulated, and certified to ensure long-term health. By choosing printed materials, you’re not only making an impactful connection with your audience but also supporting a system that protects biodiversity, stores carbon, and keeps forests thriving for generations to come.
