Woolworths (Safeway) has a conscience over paper

Interesting example of corporate social responsibility over at Woolworths, they recently ended a contract with an Indonesian paper company due to concerns over the sustainability of the trees used. It’s good to see that concerns beyond short term profit are playing into considerations by the big guys. It was also heartening to see that BP now serve fair trade coffee at their ‘Wild Bean’ cafes – it seems big business can care.
