"Sustainable development is most often defined as 'meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'. This means achieving sustainable economic growth of benefit to present and future generations of employees, shareholders and customers without detrimentally affecting the resources or biological systems of the planet."

- Tom Park, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, PaperlinX Limited
