Suppliers: Leverage Our Reach
young women is vital, but we must also make efforts to retain female employees by addressing issues that lead to their exits. Diversity, equity and inclusion are equally vital factors to addressing the workforce challenge and ensuring em- ployees operate in settings that offer opportunities for advancement. Having a diverse workforce is an important first step, but we must also cultivate work environments that welcome all individuals. I am confident that manufacturers can solve our work- force issues — both today and in the coming decade — by engaging our next generation and demonstrating that all people have a place in manufacturing. Similar to many Domtar facilities throughout North America, the Kingsport Mill is one of the largest employers in our region. We are also home to the second-largest 100 percent recycled containerboard machine in North Ameri- ca, and we are proud to be the largest recycled manufac- turer in Tennessee. We do not take those distinctions lightly, and that is why we consistently seek to hire talented individuals look- ing for opportunities to grow in careers that are skilled, tech-driven, collaborative and make a difference in our area.
