Above all we are committed to providing safe and healthy workplaces for our employees
while providing environmental stewardship that will ensure healthy and thriving
communities for future generations. Three of the four mills where our products are
manufactured – Androscoggin, Quinnesec and Sartell – are partners with the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration in the Voluntary Protection Program. The VPP concept
recognizes that safety management programs that go beyond OSHA standards can protect
workers more effectively than compliance alone. VPP Participants are a select group of
facilities that have designed and implemented outstanding health and safety programs.
The VPP application process is rigorous, and only the best programs qualify.
