NEENAH, Wis. — SCA, the global parent of SCA Tissue North America, has been ranked as the second most environmentally-friendly company in the world.
The ranking was conducted by British newspaper, The Independent, in conjunction with Ethical Investment Research Services (EIRIS), a non-profit provider of independent research into the social, environmental and ethical performance of more than 2,800 companies worldwide.
SCA was the only paper manufacturer included in the top rankings and was surpassed only by Vestas Wind Systems, the Danish manufacturer of wind turbines.
Rankings were based on a wide range of objective criteria, including business practices, environmental improvement initiatives, use of renewable energies and materials, and waste reduction and management.
For the past two years, independent conservation organization WWF has ranked SCA Tissue Europe first among the five major European tissue manufacturers across a range of environmental criteria, including levels of recycled content, wood sourcing practices, pollution control and transparency in operations.
