Sustainability Timeline
Georgia-Pacific has a long history of practicing sustainability. Our activities are categorized using the three dimensions of sustainability -- social, environmental and economic performance. Here are examples of our key activities and accomplishments over time. Some activities represent more than one dimension of sustainability.1930
