Background

As a packaging solutions provider, paperboard is critical to SIG’s business. SIG has committed to supporting responsible forestry through its sourcing practices and forest-related initiatives. Since 2021, 100% of the paperboard used in its cartons is sourced as FSC™-certified material. SIG also supports projects related to forest conservation, restoration and sustainable forest management.

Scope of Work

WWF and SIG are working on increasing transparency as they work on maintaining and going beyond their sourcing commitments, as well as defining criteria for further investments in forests with suppliers. SIG is engaging suppliers, customers, investors and peers to contribute to forest restoration and improved forest management through forest landscape projects and joint efforts to facilitate market shifts to responsible sourcing and forestry.
