Verso reports sustainability progress

Verso Paper Corp. recently announced the release of its 2010 Sustainability Report, "At the Heart of All We Do…" The report shares Verso's continued progress toward achieving a sustainable balance between environmental, social and economic needs.

"The substance of Verso's sustainability commitment comes from our people, their respect for the world around us and their belief in the future of paper," said Mike Jackson, Verso's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Sustainability is about more than just staying in business. It's about getting better and better at meeting the needs of our customers, shareholders and employees while leaving the smallest footprint possible on our environment."

"From Verso's beginning in 2006, we have placed sustainability at the heart of all we do, not because it's mandated, but because it's the right thing to do for our business and for the health of our planet and its people," said Craig Liska, Verso's Vice President of Sustainability.

Verso's 2010 Sustainability Report includes a report card summarizing progress in areas such as resource use, pollution prevention, safety, social responsibility and transparency.
