Dogwood Alliance Statement on Domini Resolution: IP & Global Warming
Description:
At this year's International Paper AGM, Domini Social Investments filed a shareholder resolution asking the company to take action on global warming in their supply chain. This statement supports the resolution and provides reasons why this is the responsible thing to do and crucial to the protection of Southern forests as a vital resource to address the issue of global warming. IP and printing company RR Donnelley were the only two companies to fail to take action on this resolution forcing the issue to go to the floor for a vote. Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy and MeadWestvaco all took significant action which allowed Domini to pull the resolution for those companies. Another example why IP is the laggard of the forest products industry.
