Charmin Makes It Easier For Consumers To Choose Responsibly Sourced Toilet Paper

New On-Pack Seal Communicates Charmin’s Partnership with Forest
Stewardship Council and Rainforest Alliance

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#sustainability–Charmin has taken the next step in supporting responsible forest
management by achieving Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certification
in its tissue paper products. This month, Charmin also launched its
newest tissue product innovation, Charmin Essentials, and with it the
launch of FSC and Rainforest Alliance certification of Charmin Ultra
Strong and Ultra Soft family of tissue products. Consumers can now find
the FSC and Rainforest Alliance Certified^TM seals on-pack,
further solidifying its efforts and commitment to responsible
papermaking by sourcing one hundred percent of the virgin fiber sourced
for its products from responsibly managed sources.

“P&G knows that it is important to preserve our world’s forests to
ensure a future for our planet. That’s why we partner with the Forest
Stewardship Council and the Rainforest Alliance to help us ensure that
the tree fibers used in our products, like Charmin, come from
responsibly managed forests while still delivering the superior product
experience our consumers expect,” said John Brase, Vice President,
Family Care. “This campaign is one piece of our overall efforts to
support and raise awareness of the protection of forests and FSC. Now,
when consumers purchase Charmin and see the FSC and Rainforest Alliance
Certified seals, they can “enjoy the go” now and for generations to
come.”

P&G reached this milestone, in part, by tapping into the World Wildlife
Fund Global Forest & Trade Network’s expertise in sourcing fiber from
well-managed forests that protect wildlife habitat and the air and water
upon which we all depend.

“We applaud P&G for putting the FSC label on its product, which sends a
strong message about the importance of responsible forest management,”
said Corey Brinkema, president of the Forest Stewardship Council US.

Today’s consumers want to be environmentally friendly and Charmin is
proud to share information and insights on its approach to responsible
papermaking to empower its consumers to do the same to make informed
decisions. Consumers will now find in-depth sustainability webpages to
learn more about what P&G is doing to keep environmental impact top of
mind for their favorite products.

“By sourcing from responsibly-managed forests, P&G sets an example of
environmental and social responsibility for other companies, and for
their customers,” said Richard Donovan, senior vice president and
president of forestry, the Rainforest Alliance.
