Partners in Growth

St. Joseph Communications is committed to help replenish the environment upon which our business and quality of life depend. This is the motivation behind our unique reforestation program, Partners in Growth®, which we developed with Scouts Canada in 1990. To date, the program has led to the planting of over 2.4 million trees across Canada, covering 3,400 acres. For every ton of paper used on a customer?s behalf, St. Joseph Communications facilitates the planting of three seedlings through Scouts Canada?s Scoutrees program.

In 2007, St. Joseph Communications extended the program through a five-year renewal agreement with Scouts Canada. Under the terms of this new agreement, Scouts Canada will recognize St. Joseph Communications as the Exclusive Sponsor of its Scoutrees program. In turn, St. Joseph Communications will continue to make an annual donation to Scouts Canada to provide for program materials and to facilitate the planting of seedlings on behalf of its print customers.
