Recognized as a leader in sustainable growth in the pulp and paper industry, Domtar Corporation—the world’s second largest integrated manufacturer and marketer of uncoated freesheet paper and GFTN-North America Participant—continues to deliver on the commitment made over a decade ago to make Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification an integral part of it sustainability strategy. Driven by this strategy, the company certified four more of its paper mills last spring—paving the way for Office Depot, one of its leading customers, to provide FSC-certified copy paper to the U.S. marketplace.
