Sustainability

Progressive thinking. Responsible action.

Catalyst places equal importance on progressive environmental and social policies, and financial realities in our approach to business and product development. Affordability, accountability and sensibility are at the core of our values as a company.

As western North America’s largest producer of mechanical printing papers, we appreciate that our products are judged by their price, quality and pressroom performance. But those are not the only measures. Supply chain efficiency, operational excellence, community engagement and environmental performance are also part of our products’ pedigree. We know the importance of economics in a truly sustainable business, and that’s why we make efficiency the cornerstone of everything we do.

With a focus on continuous improvement, our relationships and collaborations with stakeholders are varied and ongoing, as our engagement with the CFCI, WWF and other organizations reflects.

Our business is guided by globally recognized 3rd party standards including:

FSC (chain of custody)
ISO 14001 (EMS)
ISO 9000 (Quality)
ISO 14021 (Green labels and claims)
ISO 14064 (carbon accounting)
Global Reporting Initiative (disclosure)
PEFC (chain of custody)
UN Global Compact (business principles)
