ESG Data Table
ESG Data Table Where you'll find lots of details
We are strongly committed to continuous improvement in our performance related to environmental stewardship, social responsibility and strong governance, and we are equally committed to transparently sharing our successes and challenges along the way.
Our website serves as our primary method to communicate our sustainability strategy, progress and performance, and we update it annually in accordance with internationally recognized sustainability reporting standards and practices. We also offer printable resources, a blog of case studies illustrating our commitment to sustainability, and an opportunity to provide feedback on our website. Annual updates to our sustainability reporting are reviewed and approved by our corporate law department. Guidance on our sustainability reporting alignment with major ESG frameworks and indices can be found here: ESG Framework Alignment. The data in this table covers the period January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023.

Including these acres, the percent of land harvested increases slightly. 3We are committed to reforesting 100% of harvested acres. This number is less than 100% because some lands are enrolled in mitigation banks and are being managed for ecological outcome and some areas were impacted by wildfire or other natural disturbances that prevented successful reforestation. If lands are not successfully reforested within five years, we implement management actions, such as interplanting, to ensure our forests are healthy and productive. |
