Domtar
Corporation today released its 2012 Sustainable Growth Report, providing a
Year-1 update on its 2020 sustainable business roadmap. Progress is being
tracked through a framework of 35 key performance indicators that cover the
range of the Company's sustainability efforts, from increasing production
efficiency and environmental footprint reductions, to promoting the development
of employees, serving customers better and contributing more effectively to
host communities.
The report
highlights a long list of Year-1 achievements: the Company's best year on
record for health and safety performance; close to 85% renewable energy use;
decreasing greenhouse gas emissions intensity; and, increasing FSC® certified
fiber use. Additional focus in the report is also given to innovations that
have resulted in almost half of what was previously considered mill by-product
"waste" now providing economic value through beneficial re-use;
greater employee engagement around sustainable business issues; and, Domtar's
deep connections to local communities.
