At the third-annual Paper Futures Forum in Toronto, Canopy presented Jean Denault, VP, Procurement and Technology, of Transcontinental Inc., and Joel Silver, Chief Merchant Officer of Indigo Books & Music Inc., with The Order of the Forest awards.
Since 2003, Canopy, formerly known as Markets Initiative, has presented The Order of the Forest – the NGO’s take on The Order of Canada – to environmentally progressive leaders active within the printing and publishing industries. While early recognition went primarily to Big Name Canadian authors, such as Margaret Atwood, Austin Clarke, Barbara Gowdy and the late Pierre Berton, more print-specific leaders are now emerging for recognition.
Earlier in 2009, Krista Nicholds, co-President of Dollco Printing, and Kim Latreille, Group Production Director of St. Joseph Media, also received The Order of the Forest recognition. Denault has led much of Transcontinental’s environmental stance, which most recently added groundbreaking Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) status for its Freemont plant in California – opened in mid-2009 to print The San Francisco Chronicle.
