Environment

Catalyst is committed to responsible environmental practices and continuous improvement. We strive to be responsive to the growing marketplace expectation for socially and environmentally acceptable products, and community expectations for operations with minimal impact.

Part of the Neighbourhood

We're part of the neighbourhood — Our mills are part of both local and global "neighbourhoods." Most of our employees live in nearby communities, and we're keenly aware of the environment surrounding our operations.

We have high standards — We've implemented environmental management systems — registered to the ISO 14001 standard — at all of our mills: Crofton, Elk Falls, Port Alberni, Powell River, Snowflake and the Paper Recycling plant. We've been conducting independent, biennial environmental audits at our operations since the late 1980s, and all operations are required to comply with federal and provincial / state environmental regulations.

We communicate regularly — We communicate regularly with our communities on environmental matters through advisory forums and newsletters.
