Climate, Carbon and Energy

Domtar leverages renewable, sustainable, fossil-free resources and sustainable manufacturing processes to decarbonize its value chain, producing industry-leading forest products for a low carbon economy.

Our climate-focused actions and ambitions include aligning legacy company goals with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and achieving significant greenhouse gas emission (GHG) reductions. Domtar’s climate team brings fresh ideas and perspectives, while our Global Carbon Committee provides strategic vision, expertise and accountability.

Our objective is continued decrease of our GHG emissions, building on the one-third reduction we have achieved globally since 2015. We are working with technical experts to determine an appropriate global long-term target. In the meantime, we demonstrate our firm commitment to climate action by disclosing through reputable international frameworks like CDP, in line with leading global standards.

Global Carbon Strategy

We take pride in being at the forefront of the forest products industry, be it through new technologies, product innovation, or sustainable practices. This is especially the case for our global carbon strategy, which drives us to improve our manufacturing processes by optimizing energy efficiency; decreasing our consumption of fuel, steam and electricity; reducing our carbon footprint through fuel switching; and focusing on renewable energy use.
Our global carbon strategy is based on five pillars:
  • Measurement: reliable and accessible data allows us to know where we stand today and helps prioritize our plans for carbon reductions tomorrow;
  • Legislation and policy: understand the potential impact of the social and political landscape of carbon pricing, and take a measured approach to position the company for success;
  • Emissions control: focus, in order of priority, on operational excellence, fuel switching, and carbon capture utilization & storage;
  • Carbon markets: assess and understand the carbon market opportunity for Domtar; and
  • Operational risks and opportunities: monitor and manage structural risks related to cost and access to fossil fuels, grid stability and other factors.
