Responsible approach to biomass activity is outlined in Canfor’s Sustainability Report

Canfor Corporation and Canfor Pulp Products Inc. have released their joint 2024 Sustainability Report.
The report describes the companies' approach to managing environmental, social and governance activities, and reports on established targets.
Report highlights include maintaining certifications for sustainable forest management and fibre procurement activities, with 100% of Canfor-managed forests certified to SFI(TM) or FSC(TM) Forest Management Standards, 100% of sourced fibre in North American operations managed to the SFI Fibre Sourcing Standard and 100% of Swedish forestry operations certified to the PEFC Forest Management Standard. Canfor planted 62 million seedlings this year; more than 1 billion planted over 20 years.
The report also outlines advancements in safety, health and wellness initiatives, with the establishment of a global safety forum, implementation of new safety initiatives, and expansion of our employee development programmes.
Additionally the company has donated more than $2 million through its community investment programme, Good Things Come From Trees, including hurricane disaster relief support, education scholarships for future forest sector workers, and sponsorship of sports organisations in Sweden.
It also details how the organisation is continuing to pursue its goal to be net-zero by 2050, with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approving Canfor's near-term and long-term science-based emissions reduction targets in 2024. It also powered our operations with nearly 80% renewable energy.
Canfor president and CEO Susan Yurkovich said: "Sustainability is at the forefront of our business and we continually strive to be better at all that we do - for our planet, our people and our customers. Across our operations, our employees are implementing sustainability programmes while maintaining safety, developing new renewable products, and continuing to supply high-quality, low-carbon forest products in demand around the world."
