Stewardship
The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®), the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) are independent, globally recognized certification frameworks. They provide our customers with the assurance that we adhere to rigorous forest management and chain of custody (CoC) standards.
All the woodlands we manage received one, or more, of these certifications. Harvested woodlands 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.
All our manufacturing facilities have a CoC tracking system that complies with one or more certifications, including FSC, SFI and/or PEFC, and we require that 100% of the fiber we process meet minimum due diligence requirements related to risks of illegal logging and other important sustainability‑related impacts.
“In today’s world, our stakeholders and partners across all sectors are rightfully focused on environmental impact,” said Luc Thériault, president of Domtar’s Wood Products business unit. “For a company like ours that depends on renewable natural resources like wood fiber, this scrutiny isn’t just expected—it’s essential. Our environmental performance must be exemplary, which is why this pillar is fundamental to our strategy.”
