Identifying and assessing sustainability risks and opportunities;
Setting annual and long-term targets to ensure continuous improvement;

Global Reporting Standards

We are committed to developing our sustainability program transparently in accordance with recognized international standards and frameworks. We share the United Nations’ (UN) vision for a more inclusive, peaceful and prosperous future and aim to integrate the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) into our sustainability strategy. Our focus on the SDGs helps us fulfill our aspiration to be a more efficient and competitive company, a better employer, a stronger business partner, and even more deeply engaged in the communities in which we live and work.

Domtar is also proactively aligning its global sustainability strategy and reporting program with Europe’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Our ongoing commitment to transparency and annual sustainability reporting includes disclosing our climate and forest management performance to CDP, a globally recognized non-profit framework that has long championed environmental disclosure as standard business practice.
