FORT MILL, SC and MONTRÉAL and RICHMOND, BC, Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Domtar is proud to celebrate its one-year anniversary of uniting under a single brand: Domtar - The Fiber for the Future. The year has been one of expansion, achievement and living Domtar's new values.
"Reflecting on the last 12 months, I'm deeply impressed by the extraordinary progress our teams have made," said John Williams, Non-Executive Chairman, 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 for the Nation to reacquire a substantial portion of the lands at the tiskwat paper mill site in Powell River, British Columbia. Once a large and important village site for the Tla'amin people, the land holds historical and contemporary significance. The agreement was the result of years of work and commitment by both parties and honors both the historic significance and future potential of the lands.
Investing in Wisconsin and the Rothschild Dam
Domtar executives and employees joined state and local leaders in Wisconsin to break ground on a modernization project for the 113-year-old Rothschild Dam on Lake Wausau. Upgrading the 276-foot Timber Crib Spillway section will enhance public safety, flood control, local economic development and recreational opportunities for surrounding areas.
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 NCC has ever received in its 54 years of conservation efforts in Atlantic Canada. By donating more than 1,800 hectares (4,400 acres) of boreal forest, freshwater shoreline and wetlands in central Newfoundland and Labrador, Domtar is helping to create connected conservation corridors that significantly enhance wildlife movement and habitat protection across the region.
Publishing our first unified sustainability report
Domtar released Building on Strong Legacies, the company's first unified sustainability report. The publication delivers an initial consolidated view of performance across a comprehensive set of sustainability indicators and outlines the 2030 sustainability strategy. The report highlights Domtar's long-standing and deeply rooted commitments across the company's operations to invest in innovation and performance improvement and to foster greater resilience.
