The PPI Awards are the only global awards dedicated to recognising this type of achievements in the sector. International Paper has been nominated for its ‘Little Book’ campaign which is part of a straight talking initiative developed by International Paper in its communications to try to tell ‘The Sustainability Story’ of the pulp and paper industry more effectively and make it easier for people and especially the younger generation to understand some of the key facts about how sustainable the industry really is. ‘The Little Green Book’ dispels the common myths and misconceptions about paper while ‘The Little Book of Commonsense’ reminds every one why paper is as good, as relevant and as right today as ever.
