Domtar is preparing to unveil its long-awaited Sustainability Strategy, a major milestone in the integration of its three legacy companies and a signal of its future direction under new ownership.
Led by Chief Sustainability Officer Sabrina de Branco, the nearly two-year development process involved extensive collaboration across Domtar’s business units and engagement with a broad range of stakeholders. These included employees, customers, Indigenous communities, and local partners, all of whom helped shape the strategy’s core priorities.
“An effective and meaningful sustainability strategy needs to be stakeholder driven,” said de Branco. “We’ve taken the time to understand where our stakeholders want us to focus while aligning with the goals of our ambitious owner, Jackson Wijaya.”
The strategy is built around three pillars: Environmental Stewardship, Our People and Communities, and Responsible Business. Inspired in part by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Domtar’s approach emphasizes ambition, rigor, and transparency:
- Ambitious: The strategy includes measurable five-year targets.
- Rigorous: It aligns with global best practices and stakeholder expectations.
- Transparent: Domtar will publish clear commitments and report progress regularly using key performance indicators.
De Branco credits strong support from the Management Board and cross-functional teams—from environmental and safety specialists to governance experts—for the strategy’s depth and relevance.
“We hope many people—inside and outside of Domtar—will see their input reflected in our strategy,” she said.
The full strategy, including detailed objectives and performance metrics, will be released the first week of May via Domtar’s Newsroom and social media platforms.
