Domtar celebrates one year under united brand
Domtar is celebrating the one-year anniversary of its unified corporate identity under a single brand: Domtar – The Fiber for the Future. The past year has been marked by growth, achievements and the full implementation of Domtar’s renewed values across all divisions.
“Reflecting on the last 12 months, I’m deeply impressed by the extraordinary progress our teams have made,” said John Williams, Non-Executive Chairman of the Management Board. “Their hard work and commitment have been essential to the success of this integration. While we can’t acknowledge every achievement today, it’s important to pause and recognize the milestones that define our first year as one company.”
Reaching a historic agreement with Tla’amin Nation: Domtar and the Tla’amin Nation reached an historic agreement that enables the Nation to reacquire a substantial portion of the lands at the tiskwat paper mill site in Powell River, British Columbia. Once home to a large and significant Tla’amin village, the area carries both historical and contemporary importance. The agreement represents years of cooperation and dedication by both parties and honors the heritage and future potential of the lands.
Investing in Wisconsin and the Rothschild Dam: Domtar executives and employees joined state and local officials in Wisconsin to break ground on a modernization project for the 113-year-old Rothschild Dam on Lake Wausau. The project, which includes upgrading the 276-foot Timber Crib Spillway section, will enhance public safety, flood control, local economic development and recreational opportunities in the surrounding communities.
Donating lands to the Nature Conservancy of Canada: Domtar made a landmark contribution to the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), representing the largest land donation the organization has ever received in its 54 years of conservation efforts in Atlantic Canada. The company donated more than 1,800 hectares (4,400 acres) of boreal forest, freshwater shoreline and wetlands in central Newfoundland and Labrador, helping to create connected conservation corridors that will enhance wildlife movement and habitat protection across the region.
Publishing the first unified sustainability report: Domtar released its first unified sustainability report, Building on Strong Legacies, which provides an initial consolidated overview of the company’s performance across a comprehensive set of sustainability indicators. The report also outlines Domtar’s 2030 sustainability strategy, highlighting its long-standing commitment to innovation, continuous improvement and resilience across operations.
Expanding the network in point-of-sale receipt rolls: The company expanded its capacity to convert thermal paper parent rolls into point-of-sale (POS) receipt rolls, serving customers in the food service, retail, pharmacy and financial services industries. This expansion reinforces Domtar’s integrated North American operations and ensures consistent supply chain performance and customer satisfaction across these markets.
Earning industry recognition: Over the past year, Domtar has been recognized by multiple organizations for its achievements in sustainability, innovation and leadership:
- The American Forest & Paper Association honored Domtar with a Leadership in Sustainability – Water Management award.
- Corporate Knights named Domtar one of the 25 most sustainable privately owned corporations in the world.

Unifying the policies that drive Domtar’s values: Throughout the year, dedicated teams worked to create corporate policies that embody Domtar’s shared vision and values. The Environment Policy, Sustainability Policy, and Global Indigenous Relations Policy guide the company’s decisions, shape its actions and support tangible impact on the ground. These policies express Domtar’s ongoing commitment to collaboration, sustainability and excellence, which will continue to define its future.
