Greenpeace is applauding a decision by the electronic giant Best Buy to shift away from buying paper from Resolute Forest Products for its weekly flyers.
The store was convinced to begin purchasing paper from forest suppliers that are certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
Greenpeace spokesperson Shane Moffatt admits it was made possible with a nudge from the environmental group who mobilized 52 thousand people in North America to “encourage Best Buy to buy better.”
Resolute Spokesperson Seth Kursman says that negative ad campaigns being run by environmental groups like Greenpeace are having an impact on their business because they are based on what he calls deceptive and inaccurate allegations.
