APPLETON, Wis., Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- New Leaf Paper (NLP) is now listed on the Benefit Corporation register, which allows the company to meet the legal requirement for B Corp certification. Benefit Corporations commit to creating public benefit, sustainable value, and generating profit.
"More than 3,000 Benefit Corporations have met the highest standards of legal accountability, and there are less than 1,000 Certified B Corporations in the U.S. who have further distinguished themselves as leaders by meeting the highest standards of Benefit Corporation performance. We've done both," said Shannon Bone, New Leaf Paper president.
Benefit Corporations are committed to considering the company's impact on society and the environment to create long-term value for all Stakeholders. As a Benefit Corporation, we are required to regularly report publicly on how the company is achieving these goals.

We seek to provide sustainability through the entire supply chain," said Bone. "We are pleased that we have achieved this distinction that further solidifies our commitment to our mission. The Benefit Corporation listing is yet another way of ensuring accountability for our commitment, and we welcome such transparency."
