Integrating Sustainability
By integrating sustainability principles into our operations, our commitment to ongoing evaluation and continuous improvement ensures our business strategy remains relevant in the face of evolving market dynamics and sustainability best practices.
We have defined governance structures to ensure responsible development, transparent disclosures, performance stewardship of sustainability matters—including ethical conduct, human rights, environment and diversity, equity and inclusion—and priorities are embedded within our leadership policies.
We are committed to responsible forest management and continuous improvement of environmental performance. Our policies guide wood procurement, regulatory compliance and proactive measures to minimize environmental impact. This commitment is reinforced through leadership engagement, employee training and transparent reporting.
At West Fraser, people are at the core of everything we do. Our policies on safety, inclusion, Indigenous relations and pay transparency reflect a clear commitment to safe, respectful and equitable workplaces. Through strong governance and shared values, our policies guide how we support people.
West Fraser has adopted policies including our Supply Chain and Human Rights Policy; Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy; and Supplier Code of Conduct.
These policies reflect and codify our values and commitment to business ethics and human rights in our own organization and set out our expectations for business partners in our value chain.
West Fraser believes in a layered approach to engagement. We actively participate in numerous forestry sector associations and external initiatives. We also participate in many local business organizations, such as the chambers of commerce, across our operating communities. You can view the full list below:
