Our Approach
Catalyst has a company-wide environmental policy, and our board of directors maintains an environmental, health and safety committee.
We also have a five-year environmental strategic plan to support our goal of continuous improvement.
We host an environmental forum, composed of representatives with environmental responsibilities from all our operations, to ensure that we meet our corporate principles and comply with all regulatory requirements.
Our Environment Policy
Catalyst Paper is accountable for the effect of its operations on the environment and we accept responsibility for conserving, sustaining and making efficient use of the resources we consume.
While the company’s products play an important role in society, we are mindful that they must also represent the highest standards of environmental integrity we can provide.
Catalyst is committed to the principle of continuous improvement and reviews its policies and practices against external benchmarks with the help of independent advisors and partners. We work cooperatively and collaboratively with those who contribute positively, through advice or criticism, to improving our environmental performance. Day-to-day, the responsibility for environmental performance rests with all employees.
