TRUE SUSTAINABILITY is of vital concern to us all: people need an equitable and sustainable society; the planet needs an environment capable of enduring for future generations; and the economy needs profitable activity in order to sustain the social and environmental systems. These three components are inseparable in the Sustainable Enterprise strategy we are implementing at Canfor Pulp.
Our ability to create value while reducing costs and environmental impacts doesn’t end with our own operations. It also has the ability to improve the quality of the environment of the community where we operate and even the environmental footprint of our suppliers, our customers and their customers. The diagram to the right is a representation of some of the important interactions between the economic, social and environmental requirements which are essential elements of being a sustainable enterprise and the interests of our various stakeholders.
As we develop our Sustainable Enterprise strategy this year, we will be looking carefully at all of these interactions and seeking opportunities for partnerships where sustainable value can be realised.
