Environmental Stewardship

We are committed to improving 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

Fiber is the foundation of our business, and responsible sourcing is central to our approach. We are committed to sourcing 100% of our fiber from sustainably managed forests.

Energy

Energy is vital to the papermaking process, and we are proud to generate 85% of our total mill energy from renewable, carbon-neutral biomass residuals, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.

This means our energy is largely generated on site. Biomass residuals are the by-products from converting a tree into cellulose pulp.
