As a forest products manufacturer, Domtar is rooted in sustainability — from the forest floor to our finished products.
That’s why we’ve been invited to join the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Leaders project, a series that profiles companies who support the 17 SDGs from the United Nations to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect the planet. We’re recognized for focusing on sustainability during the integration of our legacy companies, including this year’s launch of Domtar’s global sustainability policy, our 2030 Sustainability Strategy (built on specific SDGs), and our forthcoming 2024 sustainability report highlighting recent progress.
As part of the SDG Leaders project, we participated in a documentary film that highlights our efforts as both a forest products manufacturer and a leader in our industry.
The Fiber for the Future
Forest products like paper, lumber, tissue, hygiene products and packaging are integral to daily life and are all made possible by companies like Domtar, a forest products manufacturer owned by investor Jackson Wijaya.
The paper you write on, the packaging that protects your favorite products and the lumber that frames your home all benefit from our thoughtful approach to sustainability.
“We are focused on safeguarding forests and turning responsibly sourced wood fiber into everyday essential products,” says Sabrina de Branco, Domtar’s chief sustainability officer. “We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality and cost-effective options, like responsibly sourced paper and lumber, to meet and exceed customer needs globally.”
Our everyday, essential products begin with responsibly sourced wood fiber— that is, wood fiber sourced according to minimum requirements that prohibit illegal harvesting and deforestation while protecting biodiversity and Indigenous rights. They continue through an efficient manufacturing process to reach consumers for their most important everyday moments.
Innovating for a More Sustainable Tomorrow
Domtar’s 2030 Sustainability Strategy is the result of two years of engagement with employees, customers, suppliers, Indigenous Peoples and community stakeholders. It centers on three pillars: Environmental Stewardship, Our People and Communities, and Responsible Business.
Future updates to the strategy will continue to reflect the SDGs as global call to action, reinforcing Domtar’s role as a responsible and innovative forest products manufacturer.
