SCA with its away-from-home tissue brand Tork has awarded 13 schools and non-profit organizations in the US with environmental education grants totalling more than USD 25,000.
The third annual awarding is part of SCA’s commemoration of America Recycles Day, Sunday, Nov. 15, 2009. Since the inception of the education grant program in 2007, SCA has provided nearly USD 95,000 in funding to 45 schools nationwide. This year’s individual grants range from USD 440 to 2,500.
“Commitment to sustainability is important to SCA, our customers and the communities where we work and live,” said Don Lewis, President at SCA’s tissue operations in the US.
“We’re proud to help educate the next generation about environmental stewardship through our grants. It’s a natural extension of our commitment to producing environmentally-friendly products and driving sustainable business practices.”
The selected projects are close to communities in Wisconsin, Arizona, Alabama and New York where SCA’s employees work and live. Click here to see a list of all projects…
