PLEASANTON, Calif. — Safeway’s Softly bath and facial tissues and Ultra Thirsty paper towels qualify to bear the Forest Stewardship Council logo and Rainforest Alliance seal for environmental and social responsibility standards.
FSC-certified paper products are produced with fiber sourced from suppliers who have been independently certified to follow strict sustainability standards, ethical forestry management and production chain controls.
“With forest resources under stress, it is important that we lead by walking the talk in our environmental specifications for paper and help drive meaningful sustainability improvements in the supply chains,” said Don Davidson, Safeway’s vice president of strategic sourcing, in a statement.
