Sustainability at Resolute

Resolute Forest Products is a global leader in the forest products industry with a diverse range of products, including market pulp, tissue, wood products, newsprint and paper, which we market in more than 50 countries. We own or operate some 40 facilities, as well as power generation assets, in the United States and Canada. Resolute has third party certified 100% of our managed woodlands to internationally recognized sustainable forest management standards.

As a supplier of choice within our industry, Resolute focuses on maximizing our contributions to the circular economy, reducing our carbon footprint, creating positive social impact and supporting our operating communities. Our fundamental goal is to generate value for the company and shareholders while driving economic activity in a sustainable and responsible way.

Resolute’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance is driven by our leadership on sustainability. We established an ambitious sustainability strategy in 2011 and have been reporting annually on our public commitments according to the requirements of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) ever since. Our leadership in ESG reporting, corporate social responsibility and sustainable development has received regional, North American and global recognition.

As an industry leader, we are committed to maintaining effective sustainability oversight, governance and management practices, and we have moved beyond already rigorous regulatory compliance and environmental incident management to commit to transparency and annual sustainability reporting. Our website’s sustainability section provides a detailed look at our commitment to continuous improvement and transparency, highlighting key areas of impact including carbon emissions, water stewardship and sustainable forest management; product innovation; data security and privacy; Indigenous business and strategic partnerships; employee training and retention; and community outreach and charitable contributions.

Our business and sustainability strategies have been expressly developed to align our efforts in environmental stewardship and social responsibility with our business objectives. The importance of public disclosures has never been more urgent, particularly in light of our need to address the global challenge of climate change, COVID-19 and the social justice movement. Our website’s sustainability section expresses our transparency and global success, and reflects our vision that profitability and sustainability drive our future.
