Domtar’s Commitment to Certification

Domtar is a separate company from APP with its own management structure and governance. Domtar and APP will remain distinct entities, with no operational overlap and independent governance structures.

The companies under the Domtar brand have long been among the most supportive champions of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Domtar actively engages with FSC policies, procedures, and practices, consistently seeking opportunities to engage suppliers to source more FSC-certified fiber.

Domtar is continuing that engagement directly with FSC International to analyze and understand the implications of the Policy for Association and the Remedy Framework in light of this development. Domtar’s historical commitment to sustainable forest management and responsible fiber sourcing – as previously affirmed by the FSC – and its distinct separation in governance from APP should be considered in regards to its certification. The company remains committed to maintaining and continuously improving the sustainability of its operations while fostering strong collaboration with Indigenous partners and local communities.

Further, Domtar’s commitment to internationally recognized third-party certification remain as strong as ever. Jackson Wijaya is a strong advocate and leader in certification and unequivocally supports Domtar’s commitment to operating in a way that ensures 100% of Domtar’s managed forests are certified to internationally-recognized standards, that 100% of Domtar’s facilities are certified to internationally-recognized chain of custody standards, and that 100% of Domtar’s fiber is sourced according to at least one of the most- recognized global standards.
