Sustainability

Celebrating Earth Day with our 2025 Sustainability Report.

On this Earth Day, we are proud to release our 2025 Sustainability Report, which summarizes our environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities and progress in 2025.

Our 2025 sustainability highlights include:

Prioritizing safety. At Canfor, safety comes first. We are committed to the safety, health and wellbeing of our people and to continuously strengthening safety systems and processes. In 2025, collaboration and communication were enhanced across global operations to drive further safety improvements.

Maintaining leading sustainability certifications. 100% of managed forests were certified to SFI® or FSC® Forest Management Standards in Canada, 29% of purchased fibre in the US was certified to SFI Forest Management or American Tree Farm System® standards and 100% of Swedish forestry operations were certified to the PEFC Forest Management Standard. In addition, 56 million seedlings were planted.

Optimizing fibre. We expanded product lines, grew the lumber packaging business, and advanced work on processes to increase fibre utilization of residuals from manufacturing operations.

Pursuing climate & energy targets. Across global operations, nearly 80% of energy used came from renewable sources. In addition, Canfor Pulp was awarded an EcoVadis silver medal for sustainability.

Investing in our people & communities. 97% of our North American salaried employees completed Respectful Workplace training. In addition, Canfor invested $1.7 million in communities across Canada and the US, while Vida contributed $1 million in European areas of operation.
