Neenah Paper announced its Carbon Neutral Plus campaign in late 2009, declaring the company's commitment to "not only conserve the environment by reducing carbon emissions, but to take a broader approach to conservation by supporting biodiversity projects which protect and restore natural habitat," including support for reforestation work in Costa Rica.
Personal Branding, Anyone?

Classic Crest is watermarked, a characteristic of high-end stationery. An identifying symbol or watermark is woven into the fabric of the paper and can be easily observed by holding a sheet of paper up to light. Neenah Paper also offers companies the option of custom watermarks, using various techniques.
