Tuesday, November 16, 2010 in Brussels, Belgium

Organized by RISI, the leading information provider for the global forest products industry, the PPI Awards program honors leadership, vision, innovation and strategic accomplishments within the pulp and paper industry. The PPI Awards are the only global awards dedicated to recognizing the achievements of companies, mills and individuals in the pulp and paper sector.

Launched in 2009, the inaugural PPI Awards were a celebration of the best in class and provided an opportunity for pulp and papermakers worldwide to show off their achievements on a global platform

Based on the positive feedback from the industry last year, RISI has decided to organize the PPI Awards again in 2010. Whether you wish to enter, sponsor or simply attend the gala dinner, you will not want to miss the opportunity to take part in this year's PPI Awards program!

Entries for the PPI Awards 2010 are now closed. The shortlist of potential winners will be announced in September and the winners will be presented with their trophies at a spectacular gala dinner on November 16, 2010. The PPI Awards dinner will take place at the Hotel Le Plaza in Brussels, Belgium. RISI will also organize a half-day seminar during the afternoon of November 16.

The PPI Awards 2010 is being held in conjunction with CEPI European Paper Week. The theme of the CEPI event is "European Paper Industry - at the core of green growth". For more information, please visit the CEPI website: www.cepi.org
