ESG by the Numbers

Resolute Forest Products is a global leader in the forest products industry with a diverse range of products, including market pulp, tissue, wood products and papers, which are marketed in more than 60 countries. We own or operate some 40 facilities, as well as power generation assets, in the United States and Canada. Resolute has third party certified 100% of our managed woodlands to internationally recognized sustainable forest management standards.

As a supplier of choice within our industry, Resolute focuses on maximizing our contributions to the circular economy, reducing our carbon footprint, creating positive social impact and supporting our operating communities. Our fundamental goal is to generate value for the company and shareholders while driving economic activity in a sustainable and responsible way. Resolute’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance is driven by our leadership on sustainability. We established an ambitious sustainability strategy in 2011 and have been reporting annually on our public commitments according to the requirements of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) ever since. We have received regional, North American and global recognition for our leadership in ESG reporting, corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. The importance of good quality ESG disclosures has never been more urgent, particularly in light of our need to address the global challenge of climate change, COVID-19 and the social justice movement. In response, Resolute developed a suite of leaflets in 2021 that improve access to and the availability of our ESG reporting. Our ESG by the Numbers leaflet is a comprehensive data-driven summary of our ESG performance based on the Value Reporting Foundation’s Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) for forestry management and pulp & paper products as well as select global ESG rating systems. It allows the investment and financial community to track and publicly rate our ESG performance against our industry peers, and to better understand the financial impacts of sustainability on Resolute’s overall business performance.
