Forest and Fiber Management

At Domtar, we conserve and enhance forest ecosystems through responsible forest management and sustainable fiber sourcing practices across our operations. Sustainable forest management is a core element of Domtar’s Sustainability Strategy, through which we are targeting ongoing advancement in areas including landowner engagement and collaboration on critical habitat protection. Domtar owner Jackson Wijaya is a strong advocate and leader in fiber and forest certification.

Our commitment to producing quality products that meet the criteria of today’s environmentally conscious stakeholders begins with responsible fiber procurement. This includes the sustainable management of forests entrusted to our care, careful tracking of wood fiber sources, and a long-running endorsement of third party certification.

100% of the woodlands we manage are regenerated – an essential component of responsible and sustainable forest management. We rely on various forest management techniques and best practices, including regeneration surveys, site preparation, planting of seedlings and seeding – all in combination with natural regeneration.

Forest certification and fiber tracking help to ensure the sustainability of our fiber supply and other forest values, including biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services. Strict adherence to internationally recognized forest management and chain of custody (CoC) standards provides our customers with the assurance that the wood fiber we utilize originates from responsible sources.

100% of the woodlands we manage are third-party certified to internationally recognized independent certification standards: the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) and/or the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®);
100% of our manufacturing facilities have a CoC tracking system compliant with FSC®, SFI®, and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), all of which require that 100% of the fiber processed meets minimum due diligence requirements related to risks of illegal logging and other important sustainability issues; and
We are the largest holder of FSC and SFI certificates globally.

Domtar also offers products certified to independent, third-party standards for customers seeking an additional level of assurance. We work with these third-party partners and North American operations to understand how we can further integrate our certification programs in the future. All our certificates are available here.
