Our Future Is Rooted in the Forest

We source wood responsibly, using the highest certification standards.  We collaborate with leading environmental groups to improve our performance and help generate funding for conservation programs around the world. We are especially proud of our work with small landowners to expand the use of sustainable forestry practices.

We procured 19 percent of total fiber from FSC-certified sources. In Ontario, we have recertified the Wabigoon Forest Tenure to the new FSC Canadian Forest Management standard and are on track to certify the Trout Lake Forest Tenure to the same standard in 2022.

Domtar's Sustainable Forestry Principles

We believe that the choices we make should leave the forests we depend on, and the communities we are a part of, better off for the long term. Our Sustainable Forestry Principles help make this belief a reality.
