What lies at the heart of Domtar’s sustainability efforts? What do we see as the underlying key to our momentum? The answer lies in the close working relationships we’ve established with the Rainforest Alliance, World Wildlife Fund and other stakeholders. The welcome results of these collaborative efforts are unique testimonies to our pursuit of responsible forest management practices.
Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC®)
FSC is an international, independent, not-for-profit organization that sets global standards for responsible forestry. As the gold standard of forest management, it addresses important economic, social and environmental concerns, including:
- Protecting water quality and high conservation value forests
- Preventing the loss of natural forest cover
- Prohibiting the use of highly hazardous chemicals
- Limiting clearcuts to defend forest ecology
- Protecting customary rights of indigenous people and local communities
Rainforest Alliance
This respected environmental group works to protect ecosystems by transforming business and land-use practices as well as consumer behavior. Participation in its programs requires adherance to rigorous standards that conserve both biodiversity and resources.
The Rainforest Alliance supports Domtar EarthChoice® because of Domtar’s commitment to have all of the forests it directly or indirectly manages FSC® certified. Learn more about Domtar and the Rainforest Alliance's relationship here.
SmartHouse and Treehouse are two interactive tools designed to introduce you to the people, places and processes that stand by the production of goods carrying their seal. Learn more at http://www.rainforest-alliance.org/.
