Page 3, News, Tuesday, June 2, 1992 Pulp and paper companies agree to guiding principles continued from page 1 should be brought more deeply into the process. So we would bring in a stakeholder commit- tee made up of people like out- fitters, trappers, Indian bands, naturalists, local anlgers and hunters, the local chamber of commerce--people who have a stake in the management of the resources in a community." These groups would be involved in writing the plan before it goes to the province for approval, says Rotherham. He admits that the guide- lines in part are an attempt to shore up the poor environmen- tal image people associate with pulp and paper companies. "Yes, it is a reaction (to bad publicity)," he says. "But you know, a lot of people believe that companies are monolinths, that the people that work for them aren't really part of soci- ety. Well, this obviously isn't true." Rotherham says that pulp and paper workers, like the rest of society, have been influ- enced by the growing concem for the environment that has affected all of society. . "T think what we're seeing is the effects of a general societal change manifesting itself among the companies," he says. ""We're just doing things differently because, during this period of time, people want them done differently." In addition to increased pub- lic involvement, the companies plan to spend a projected $5 billion between 1990-1994 on environmental protection mea- sures, and to submit to inde- pendent audits of mills to ensure that the guidelines are being followed. "The thrust of the principles is that we will meet or exceed government standards for for- est management, and that we will encourage public aware- ness of forest management standards and practices," says Rotherham. The guidelines also conform to the principles set out for for- est management by the United Nations Earth Summit, being held in Brazil this week, says Rotherham. "We want to do the whole job better, and we're spending a lot of money to do it better," he says. We would like to thank all who organized, planned and attended or contributed towards our Stag & Doe. We both had a great time and will remember the eveni ng for years to come.
