Melissa & Doug kicked off the new year with an accelerated timeline in its commitment to sustainability.
As one of the three pillars of its “Project Restore” initiative that was revealed last year, becoming fully Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified was originally intended to take place by 2025. Now, Melissa & Doug says that it will surpass that goal by producing all of its paper and top-selling wood products in an FSC certified manner by sourcing from responsibly managed forests by the end of this year.
“We are proud of being able to accelerate our FSC ambition by purchasing FSC-certified paper and wood products for use in 2022. By ensuring our products help forests thrive and contribute to a healthy planet, we lay a better foundation for restoring play for generations to come,” says Bridgette Miller, chief marketing and sustainability officer at Melissa & Doug. “The acceleration of our FSC commitment comes at a time of uncertainty for parents and children and committing to preserving our environment is one way we can do our part to accelerate making the world a better place.”
