Sustainability Officer
Sustainability, to me, means thinking, deciding and acting with a long‑term vision. Our 2030 Sustainability Strategy builds on the achievements of our legacy companies and provides us with a robust roadmap to continue growing responsibly as the fiber for the future.
I would like to acknowledge the hard work of all those who have helped chart this path. I could not be prouder of my team and all the Domtar experts across the company who weighed in to develop a strategy that is at once ambitious, rigorous and transparent. It was a challenge, but at the same time, it was a perfect challenge because we learned a lot from each other. I also couldn’t be prouder to work for an organization where senior leadership puts sustainability at the heart of everything we do.
As I take stock, it is also clear that our employees did not wait for this strategy to spring into action. From our corporate offices to our forestry operations and mills, our people have embraced efforts to reduce the use of natural resources and fossil fuels, support Indigenous‑led conservation projects and create new solutions for sustainable packaging, while we take care of talent development so we can all grow together. There is a long list of wonderful, meaningful initiatives Domtar legacy companies have put into place, many of which are featured in this report.
Today, the entire organization is mobilized to go further, transforming our manufacturing processes and designing products that meet stringent third‑party standards. We believe innovation and sustainability go hand in hand, helping secure our long‑term competitiveness and relevance.
The launch of our sustainability strategy, culminating in the publication of our first report as a unified Domtar, is a major milestone. Even though there is still much work left to do, our integration work leading to this point positions us well for the future. With the right structure now in place, we have the tools and the buy‑in to accelerate our efforts.
Our leaders are fully behind our commitments, and we can count on highly skilled teams to implement our strategy. A robust governance structure is in place to monitor progress and ensure that objectives and targets are met. We remain attentive to new legislation, regulatory changes and international standards that will continue to shape the future of corporate sustainability.
Climate challenges and global economic uncertainties make it more urgent than ever to ensure our resilience. With strong values and a clear strategy, Domtar has a compass to navigate complex times and contribute to a sustainable future for the communities in which we live, work and grow.
I hope our commitment that resonates through the stories in this report inspires our partners and stakeholders to join us in our sustainability efforts. Our business and our planet depend on it.
In partnership,
Sabrina de Branco
Global Chief Sustainability Officer
