Due to a reduction in the amount of paper purchased in 2009, combined with the loss of an FSC supplier, the amount of FSC-certified paper was slightly reduced from 2008. Scholastic found tonnage to replace the lost source this year, and anticipates a steady improvement in the coming year.
"Even through challenging economic times, Scholastic has been a champion of forest stewardship," says Corey Brinkema, president of FSC-US. "The results for 2009 and the development of new sources of FSC-certified paper demonstrate their continued industry leadership in tapping FSC-certified sources."
