Cascades, Kingsey Falls, Que., Canada, recently received two corporate responsibility awards—Excellence in Corporate Responsibility, awarded by Green Living Enterprises, and Greening the Supply Chain, awarded by the Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters. The Excellence in Corporate Responsibility award, presented during the October 26 CATIE Awards Gala in Toronto, Ont., Canada, was attributed to Cascades' online boutique that offers products respectful of the environment, such as Christmas trees, children's furniture, and pet homes, all made of recycled cardboard. "We are happy that our sustainable business practices and our dedication towards the creation of eco-responsible products have been recognized," Carl Blanchet, corporate director of business development at Cascades, said.

The Greening the Supply Chain award was presented at a gala in Toronto on October 17. The award was attributed to Cascades for its commitment to render its supply chain more respectful of the environment and to reduce its carbon footprint. "We are particularly proud to receive this award in view of the outstanding reputation of the other finalists in the area of responsible procurement," said Christine Lemieux, director of International Operations at Cascades.
