The fund was created to support the charitable work of Canopy (formerly Markets Initiative) in safeguarding forests and the environment by harnessing the power of the marketplace and changing business practices. Canopy drives North American demand for green paper products by shifting heavy paper consuming sectors away from unsustainable sources.
Canopy works primarily with the book, newspaper, magazine and print industries to phase out the use of endangered forests and toxic bleaches in paper-making, make more environmental solutions available and reduce overall paper consumption. Canopy does all of this in the name of protecting the integrity of our planet. They want to ensure the world’s forests remain strong and standing, our species abundant, our ecosystems healthy and our climate protected.
