Environmental Classification and Impact (summary):

Construction and operation of new plants for production of paper tissues and towels is associated with limited environmental and social (E&S) risks and impacts that can be readily managed by applying good practices for the manufacturing industry. The main risks and impacts common for the sector relate to site issues, compliance, labor and working conditions, pollution prevention and abatement measures, fire safety, product safety, impacts on the local communities’ health, safety and security; and supply chain which is a critical issue in the industry that relies on products derived from natural wood, which needs to be sourced from well-managed forests with legally controlled loggings, and procured based on fair trade practices.
