Governance
In today’s world, sustainability governance is not only key to managing risks and opportunities, but also vital to building a company’s reputation, earning customer trust and inspiring employee loyalty. Domtar’s commitment to conducting all business affairs with integrity within an environment of respect, candor and good faith underlies our governance framework.
Jackson Wijaya, owner and sole shareholder of Domtar, entrusts the company’s operational oversight to our Management Board — a team of senior leaders responsible for strategic direction, corporate governance and decision‑making aligned with Domtar’s mission, with a strong focus on people, communities, customers and sustainability. Our business unit (BU) and corporate leaders work closely with the Management Board to ensure strategic alignment and to advance Domtar’s vision.
Sustainability oversight ultimately rests with the Management Board, which delegates this responsibility to our Global Sustainability Steering Committee (GSSC). This executive‑level body that includes representatives from both the Management Board and senior leadership meets at least twice a year to provide oversight of Domtar’s sustainability strategy and policy framework, ensure alignment of our sustainability commitments across all business units, monitor material sustainability‑related risks and opportunities and position the company to meet its regulatory and voluntary environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments.
Domtar operates through its business units — Paper & Packaging, Pulp & Tissue, and Wood Products in North America. Each unit is assigned a sustainability committee tasked with driving the implementation of Domtar’s 2030 sustainability strategy at the operational level and providing management‑level oversight of sustainability risks, opportunities and performance. Reporting to the GSSC, these cross‑functional groups of senior managers and experts who are supported by the Global Sustainability function meet quarterly to carry out their responsibilities.
