Algoma and Northshore forests obtain FSC certification
TICKER SYMBOL DTC (TSX, NYSE)
MONTREAL, June 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Domtar Inc. is pleased to announce
that the Algoma and Northshore forests have been certified by the Forest
Stewardship Council (FSC). These forests are managed by Clergue Forest
Management Inc. and Northshore Forest Inc., respectively, and represent an
important fiber supply for Domtar's Espanola Mill and Nairn Centre Sawmill in
Northeastern Ontario.
"These certifications significantly increase the amount of FSC fiber available
to Domtar's mills, and will allow the Corporation to continue to expand its
line of FSC-certified products such as the environmentally and socially
responsible EarthChoice papers," said Brian Nicks, Director, Sustainable Forest
Management.
The Algoma Forest contains 980,000 hectares of Crown land and the Northshore
Forest contains 1,080,000 hectares. Both are managed under the authority of
Sustainable Forest Licenses (SFL) issued by the Ontario Ministry of Natural
Resources. Granted by SmartWood, an FSC-credited certifier and a program of the
Rainforest Alliance, this certification is consistent with the Ministry's
objective to have all SFL holders certified to accepted performance standards
by 2007.
These latest certifications support Domtar's ongoing commitment to guarantee
its customers, shareholders and the public that all forest operations under its
direct and indirect care are well managed and sustainable. This approach is
also in line with the vision of the Boreal Leadership Council, of which Domtar
is a founding member, to make Canada's boreal region the world's best-conserved
forest ecosystem, while allowing the communities and businesses that depend on
the forest to benefit from its resources.
FSC certification promotes natural resource conservation, regeneration and
sustainability, while balancing the interests of the forest products industry,
governments, environmental organizations and Indigenous peoples. The FSC is an
international, independent, not-for-profit organization made up of social,
environmental and business representatives. It is the only forest products
certification standard accepted and endorsed by environmental and conservation
organizations, including the Rainforest Alliance, the World Wildlife Fund and
ForestEthics.
