Stewardship

GP Cellulose is excited to team up with One Tree Planted to plant 10,000 longleaf pine seedlings this year.

For us at GP, Stewardship encompasses the responsible management of our actions and the resources entrusted to our care in a manner that respects the rights of others. By “rights,” we mean everyone’s right to their own life, property, and equal treatment under the law.

In June, Georgia-Pacific announced it produced its 1 billionth EarthKraft™ recyclable padded mailer at our facility in Tolleson, Arizona. This was a monumental achievement just three short years after the product was introduced.

At Georgia-Pacific, we believe the potential for mass timber and Southern Yellow Pine in Georgia are exponential. We view mass timber as “the sexy calling card” of building with wood.

Peace of mind – that’s what any parent wants when caring for a child, especially a working parent. At Georgia-Pacific, we provide many benefit choices aligned with employees’ values and personal situations, including a benefit catered to working parents.

Atlanta, Georgia - Georgia-Pacific employees volunteer their time and efforts all year to support communities in need. Recently, our Quilted Northern® teams joined Trees Atlanta and the Arbor Day Foundation® for an urban area tree planting event in the city.

Georgia-Pacific has contributed $100,000 to Auburn University to help fund a new state-of-the-art digester that will give engineering students the ability to test and improve a newly patented innovation in papermaking.

David Brabham, Georgia-Pacific’s director of stewardship strategy, has been concerned with environmental stewardship since he was just a little boy – and he can prove it.

Long-term success starts with the decisions we make each day. That’s why we work to maximize recycling, reduce energy use and set the standard in sustainable forestry.

Trees Atlanta, a nonprofit organization, will soon have a new central hub as it continues its environmental commitment to the community.
