Environmental Stewardship

We are committed to improve our climate impact and stewardship of natural resources. As a global producer of uncoated freesheet paper, we depend on a sustainable supply of fiber, water and energy to make our products.

Fiber By The Numbers

We are committed to sourcing 100% of our fiber from sustainably managed forests. Percent of wood sourced by country:

43%

of wood sourced in Brazil

15%

of wood sourced in France

10%

of wood sourced in Sweden

30%

of wood sourced in United States

2%

of wood sourced in other countries*

*Primarily Poland, Germany and Portugal

100 %

Globally, 100% of sourced fiber followed the FSC^® Controlled Wood standard

99 %

of our owned forestland is certified to the FSC (C101761) Forest Management standard

60 %

of fiber sourced globally is FSC and/or PEFC certified

Energy

Energy is vital to papermaking and we are proud of our efforts to reduce energy usage. We generate more than 85% of our total mill energy needs from renewable, carbon-neutral biomass residuals rather than fossil fuels. Biomass residuals are the by-products from converting a tree into cellulose pulp.

Water Stewardship

Water is a vital element in our operations and is necessary to produce our product. Good quality freshwater allows us to generate steam and energy, produce paper and keep wood preserved. As a part of our 2030 Goals, we want to reduce the amount of water consumed per ton of production by 25%, and to implement context-based water stewardship plans at our mills.
