Cascades Inc. announced recently that it has been selected as the 7th best corporate citizen in Canada by Corporate Knights magazine, which focuses on social responsibility and corporate governance. The magazine publishes annually a short list of the best 50 corporate citizens in Canada, which usually includes Cascades, because of its environmental, social and governance indicators.
"We are pleased that Cascades' sustained efforts in sustainable development are being acknowledged. The company has always aimed to reach standards that are higher than regularly established standards and it has continuously innovated its practices that are respectful of the environment and its stakeholders. It is therefore no surprise that the water consumption of Cascades units is five times lower than that of the Canadian pulp and paper industry. Since we believe in the principle of continuous improvement, we will strive to attain, between now and the end of 2012, the objectives that we have set for ourselves in our sustainable development plan, launched last April", declared Hubert Bolduc, Vice-President, Communications and Public Affairs.
