Resolute Forest Products sues Greenpeace
May 31, 2016

(Reuters) - Resolute Forest Products Inc filed a racketeering lawsuit against Greenpeace and some of its associates for its campaign criticizing the company's forestry practices.

The Montreal, Quebec-based company said in a statement on Tuesday that the complaint, filed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District Of Georgia, sought compensatory and other damages.

The complaint included racketeering, trademark, defamation and tortious interference claims against Greenpeace over its campaign titled "Resolute: Forest Destroyer."

In the campaign, Greenpeace said Resolute, one of the largest producers of newsprint in North America, had destroyed Canada's Boreal forest and woodland caribou habitat.
