Officeworks is one of the largest suppliers of Reflex Paper in Australia - paper produced through the destruction of Victoria's native forests.
Victoria's forests are the most carbon dense on earth, and logging releases enormous amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. The logging is taking place in important water catchments and in habitat critical to the survival of Victoria's magnificent native wildlife, including orchids.
Officeworks are well aware of the environmental costs of native forest logging - and that ready alternatives exist - but they continue to support this by stocking the Reflex range.
This is despite their own Corporate Social Responsibility policy, which states that "Our goal is to fully integrate environmental responsibility into every facet of our operations" by "select[ing] better products for the environment."
It is time for Officeworks to start taking their own policies seriously and to refuse to stock Reflex Paper until its producer, Australian Paper, no longer sources wood fibre from the logging of native forests.
