TORONTO (News Release) -- Kruger Products, Canada's leading tissue manufacturer, is listed in the Corporate Knights 2017 Future 40 Responsible Corporate Leaders in Canada ranking released today. Now in its fourth year, the ranking recognizes the country's top small and mid-sized companies that are demonstrating leadership in sustainability.

Kruger Products is clearly a company that takes sustainability seriously," says Michael Yow, Director of Research, Corporate Knights. "This is evident from its full disclosure and commendable environmental metrics performance."

"Environmental sustainability is at the core of our business and we are firm in our commitment to setting industry-best targets," says Mario Gosselin, CEO Kruger Products.
