Fostering a Culture of Continuous Improvement.
As forestland managers, we have a responsibility to ensure our forests continue to provide benefits for future generations. As a manufacturer of durable building materials, we also play an important role in helping to address climate change. We aim to bolter these benefits by reducing the carbon footprint of our operations, increasing fuel and energy efficiencies and promoting use of renewable wood products. Environmental considerations, however, are only one aspect of sustainability, and we are equally committed to fostering well-being, opportunity and inclusivity in our workplace and our communities.

We take stewardship to heart.
For every tree we harvest, we plant three, securing a healthy future for our forests, our communities and our business. All of our forestland is third-party certified under the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). Everything we do is done with our people, neighbors, customers, communities and the environment in mind.

Climate solutions.
Trees sequester Co2 out of the atmosphere as they grow. When those trees are harvested and turned into durable building materials, that carbon is effectively kept out of the atmosphere and stored in the built environment. Each year, an estimated 2.1 million metric tons of Co2 equivalent is stored in the lumber we manufacture, an amount roughly equivalent to the emissions 456,000 passenger vehicles produce in a year. We ensure a continual cycle of carbon storage and uptake, replanting three trees for every one harvested.
Our manufacturing processes are also always evolving to reduce waste and energy use. Today, 100 percent of a log is used when processed at one of our facilities. What doesn’t become lumber is used for biofuel, paper products, particle board, and other renewable, climate-friendy products.
[ Sustainable Communities ]
We Value Quality of Life in Our Communities.
We pride ourselves on being a dependable, engaged member of the communities in which we operate, supporting the local economy and providing good, year-round jobs. Our employees depend on access to quality schools, healthcare, advanced training and educational opportunities. All communities, large and small, need access to safe housing, affordable goods and services, and the recreational, arts, and entertainment opportunities that enhance overall quality of life. We are actively contributing to enhanced quality of life on our communities through support for local youth and schools, career and technical education, housing projects, and community events.
