Presenting a SlideShare on Resolute’s sustainable supply chain

When you buy pulp, paper and lumber from us, you know you are buying from a sustainable supply chain. The attached SlideShare tells that story in 14 simple slides, from the importance of asking where wood comes from to what responsible sourcing is and how chain of custody works.

The work we do today all starts with responsible sourcing. That means 100% of the woodlands Resolute manages meet internationally-recognized standards for responsible and sustainable forestry.

That’s where it starts, but chain of custody is where it continues. Having an unbroken trail of records that track the harvested trees from forest to forest product provides assurance that 100% of the wood purchased meets a minimum due diligence. Sure that might sound a little dry, but here’s what it actually helps prevent:

• Illegal logging
• Human rights violations
• Disregard for First Nations rights
• Threats to anything of high conservation value
• The use of genetically modified organisms
• And the conversion of forests to non-forest uses or plantations

In addition to harvesting trees responsibly, we support prompt reforestation of the harvested areas. That’s a key practice of woodland sustainability. Our sustainable supply chain means we can confidently offer high-quality, environmentally conscious choices to you and your customers.
