Published in 23 de November de 2025 by g7

Domtar is strengthening its long-term sustainability with a clear focus on ethics, transparency and resilience. The company’s 2030 Sustainability Strategy is built on three pillars: Environmental Stewardship, Our People and Communities, and Responsible Business. The Responsible Business pillar defines how the company engages customers, partners and stakeholders.

With twelve well-defined objectives covering operations, products and the value chain, Domtar reinforces its position as a responsible leader in the forest products sector. The company is making decisions that ensure long-term success and trust.

Ethics, Innovation and Partnerships Drive Responsible Growth

“Companies are being held to ever-higher standards in terms of the ethics of their conduct and their capacity for innovation and collaboration,” says Steve Henry, President of Domtar’s Paper and Packaging business unit. “These practices represent both the right thing to do and smart business decisions, as they enhance our long-term resilience.”

Domtar’s Responsible Business efforts are organized around four strategic areas: Ethical and Sustainable Leadership, Innovation, Human Rights, and Partnerships & Accountability.
