Torstar, publisher of the Toronto Star newspaper and Harlequin books, has launched corporate environmental purchasing principles to encourage improvement of forest certification systems with Forest Stewardship Council certification (FSC) as the target standard.
Torstar has launched these principles with a commitment to support their suppliers’ engagement of environmental organizations to forward protection of high conservation value forests and encourage suppliers to develop papers that are more ecologically sensitive. These principles apply to Harlequin, known the world over for the publication of romance novels, as well as the Star Media Group and Metroland Media Group, which together publish over 125 newspapers across Canada.
