Domtar's Sustainability Strategy
Domtar strives to put sustainability at the heart of everything we do. In May 2025, we released a detailed new roadmap, our company’s sustainability strategy, to guide our sustainability efforts between now and 2030. Domtar’s Sustainability Strategy is:
Ambitious | Building from achievements to date on the part of our legacy companies, we are targeting ongoing and even accelerated progress. |
Rigorous | We’ve aligned with our stakeholders’ priorities and expectations, while also taking account of best practices and key external guidance and standards. |
Transparent | Our commitments are public and available to everyone, and we’ll report regularly on our progress towards the targets we’ve set. |
Domtar’s Sustainability Strategy is founded on the three pillars – Environmental Stewardship, Our People and Communities and Responsible Business – defined in our Sustainability Policy, with a guiding principle for each.
Building upon the pillars, we selected 12 objectives. Each objective is linked to performance indicators and to one or more targets for the years 2026 and 2030.
Domtar’s Sustainability Strategy is the outcome of nearly two years of extensive and collaborative work. While driven by our Sustainability Team, subject matter experts from across our business units were closely involved.
We began with careful self-assessment of our performance to date, looking at each legacy company’s strengths and best practices, and we identified and prioritized the sustainability-related risks and opportunities that matter most to Domtar’s success.
We also reached out extensively to customers, communities, business partners and other stakeholders. The unique perspectives of Indigenous peoples were also sought out. Input from hundreds of representatives helped us to better understand these external interests, concerns and goals and to build a truly stakeholder-driven sustainability strategy.
Our Strategy is also guided by well-recognized external guidance and standards, with a particular focus on the reporting guidelines and requirements that will help ensure we are providing clear updates on our progress.
Our sustainability-related dialogue with stakeholders is ongoing, and we will continue to refine our Strategy as best practices, stakeholder expectations and business realities evolve.
This Strategy builds upon the strong foundations and initiatives already underway across our three legacy companies, recognizing the progress made and uniting our efforts under a cohesive and forward-looking framework. We believe that its successful pursuit is central to who we are as Domtar.
