MeadWestvaco - A Global Leader in Sustainability Development
We're proud to be a global leader in stewardship and sustainability – as recognized by our inclusion in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for the past three years.
Environmental Stewardship
Stewardship is central to MeadWestvaco's vision for the future. We strive to preserve and enhance our resources through a commitment to sustainability and a steadfast dedication to integrity and innovation in all that we do.
The Sustainable Forestry Initiatives® (SFI) Program
MeadWestvaco is a SFI certified supplier. We are an active supporter of the SFI program and recognized globally as a leader in sustainable forestry. MeadWestvaco's commitment to sustainable forestry builds upon a long history of implementing and promoting sustainable forestry practices, including responsible sourcing from privately owned family forests. Our forestry practices are reviewed annually by accredited, independent audit firms. Our standards are high, among the most rigorous in the world.
Environmental Responsibility
Stewardship and sustainability mean managing and enhancing the forests and other resources that provide materials that go into many of MeadWestvaco products. It also means that we continue to take responsible care of our natural resources – the land, air and water. As a global enterprise, MeadWestvaco is committed to providing products and services that serve the needs of customers and consumers with maximum efficiency and respect for the environment.
Environmental Performance
We are dedicated to compliance with the letter and sprit of all federal and state environmental requirements-and to exceeding those requirements when appropriate to protect people and the environment. MeadWestvaco sets high standards, and we equip our employees with the tools, education and training to ensure that we remain good stewards of the environment.
Environmental Impact of Paper Consumption - Envelope Styles
MeadWestvaco Executive envelopes demonstrate sustainability through efficient use of paper during the manufacturing process and in the product itself. Our efficient manufacturing process minimizes paper waste. As a result, our envelopes are produced using less paper (in total square inches) in comparison to other envelope styles. Environmental waste impacts sustainability through the consumption of energy and use of additional transportation to manage more paper in and out of the manufacturing facility.
