The annual Naughty/Nice List holiday gift catalog scorecard shows
that 12 of 21 companies earned a “nice” rating for four sustainability
related metrics.
Each year, Forest Ethics
rates retailers on their gift catalogs and other mailings as judged by
the avoidance of paper from endangered forests, the use of Forest
Stewardship Council-certified paper, use of recycled content and paper
reduction.
Six companies landed in the “checking twice” ratings area and five
companies received a “naughty” rating. To view the scorecard, click here (PDF).
