Domtar Receives 2026 SFI Leadership In Conservation Award The Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) has named Fort Mill, South Carolina based Domtar the recipient of its 2026 SFI Leadership in Conservation Award, recognizing the company’s conservation collaborations and forest man- agement and fiber sourcing practices in North America. “Domtar exemplifies the type of leadership that is help- ing shape the future of conservation in North American for- ests,” says Lauren T. Cooper, chief conservation officer at SFI. “Their dedication to conservation spans partnerships with researchers, field implementation and regional col- laboration. In these ways, Domtar continues to play a key role in helping SFI bring our conservation vision to life.” SFI selected Domtar for deep and sustained engage- ment with the SFI Climate Smart Forestry Initiative and contributions to field-level research. For example, Dom- tar is a central partner in Silva21, a research program that brings together a variety of stakeholders to improve the resilience of Canadian forests. Regional leadership and specific conservation projects with other certified organi- zations related to habitat and biodiversity also played a role in the selection. “Forest certification is of significant importance to us. It supports Domtar’s commitment to operational excellence. Our team’s daily forest management operations are ver- ified through government oversight and certification to independent third-party standards such as SFI’s,” says Éti- enne Vézina, vice president of forestry and certification at Domtar. “That external validation helps ensure we meet certification standards and stay at the forefront of what for- estry will look like tomorrow.” SFI is an independent, globally recognized certification framework, providing Domtar’s customers with the assur- ance that the company adheres to rigorous responsible forest management and chain of custody standards. Orga- nizations certified to SFI standards must undergo rigorous third party audits conducted by accredited, independent certification bodies, providing credibility and transparency for certified organizations and their customers. “Our leadership defines ambitious sustainability goals, but real impact happens in the forests, where our field teams advance climate-smart practices and protect bio- diversity every day,” says Samuel Bourque, certification manager at Domtar. “This award recognizes the alignment between our commitments and the work being done on the ground.” Since 2004, Domtar and SFI have partnered across forestry operations, certification, sustainability and innova- tion. 100% of Domtar’s manufacturing facilities and forest operations are certified to SFI standards. In addition, Domtar’s owned and managed lands in Canada are certified to SFI standards. Today, Domtar is the world’s largest holder of SFI Forest Management cer- tificates.
