Monadnock Paper Mills has joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Leaders program. By participating in the Climate Leaders program, Monadnock has pledged to reduce its corporate-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The Climate Leaders program is an EPA industry-government partnership that works with companies to develop comprehensive climate change strategies. Partner companies commit to reducing their impact on the global environment by completing a corporate-wide inventory of their GHG emissions based on a third-party audited environmental management system, setting aggressive reduction goals, and annually reporting their progress to the EPA.

The family-owned paper company generates renewable energy through its onsite, low-impact hydroelectric facilities. Monadnock was the first paper mill to receive Forest Stewardship Council chain-of-custody certification (SW-COC-001160) for its Astrolite PC 100 recycled printing paper. It has also earned ISO 14001:2004 Certification for its comprehensive Environmental Management System.
