Safeguarding Human Rights
Across Our Value Chain

At Domtar, we are committed to safeguarding the people in our value chain by respecting human rights and labor standards, providing safe working conditions and prohibiting all forms of abuse, including child and forced labor.

As outlined in the 2024 report we prepared in accordance with the Canadian Fighting Against Forced and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, we consider responsible value chain management essential to meeting our commitments and obligations.

Comprehensive risk assessments conducted to date indicate that the likelihood of child and forced labor in our supply chains is low, with no material risks identified.

These findings were reaffirmed by our Double Materiality Assessment, completed in early 2025, which examined environmental and social risks across our value chain. Human rights did not emerge as a significant area of concern — reflecting the strength of our governance and responsible business practices.

Still, we recognize that protecting human rights requires ongoing vigilance. This is not a static goal but a continuous responsibility. We remain dedicated to evaluating the effectiveness of our tools, policies and procedures to ensure that we and our suppliers uphold the highest standards globally.
By 2026, Domtar aims to develop a global human rights policy aligned with international standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. By 2030, we plan to conduct comprehensive human rights risk assessments across our value chain to ensure alignment with this policy and to mitigate any potential risks.

With clear targets and an eye on the future, we are working to ensure dignity, fairness and respect remain at the heart of everything we do — from our operations to our supply chain and beyond.
