A ‘Green’ Celebration
“Francine and I were very pleased and proud to accept the SustainPrint Newcomer of the Year Award for books on behalf of Scholastic,” says Serra. “As a company focused on children’s reading and learning, Scholastic not only wants to educate children about what they can do to help protect the environment, but also wants to teach by example. Although Scholastic has had an environmental policy and has been using recovered fiber in our products for decades, we thought it time to formalize that policy and set high impact goals around the use of recovered and FSC-certified fiber,” she continues. “We are very proud of the policy, as well as our historic achievement this fiscal year with a record-setting use of FSCcertified fiber for a single book. … Being recognized with the SustainPrint Award is a great honor for our company.”
