With a swarm of eco bugs on the horizon, help is required to distinguish the ones that have bite from those that don't. Yalmaz Siddiqui, Office Depot's Environmental Strategy Advisor will help us do just that in this free webinar.

Yalmaz will articulate the strengths and shortcomings of certifications common to the paper industry, in addition to a number that apply broadly to consumer products, to help you make more informed purchase and communication decisions.

 

Jeff Mendelsohn, Founder & CEO of New Leaf Paper, presented a FREE webinar on April 13th putting forward a case on the Strategic Advantage of Sustainability.

This webinar, the third in our monthly series, is certain to have insights for small and large corporations alike. Jeff will share his thoughts on conceiving and growing New Leaf Paper over the last ten years, and how a commitment to sustainability can be harnessed for strategic advantage.
