Overview

Abitibi-Consolidated's values are centred around a strong commitment to the protection and enhancement of the natural resources in our care. Above all, we view the forests under our stewardship as a renewable resource that can meet the needs and benefits of society today, while remaining a viable and vibrant resource for future generations as well as the continued economic well-being of the Company itself..

All of the initiatives and actions undertaken by Abitibi-Consolidated in this context are predicated on the vitally important goal of protecting and renewing the resource, through responsible forest management. It is a goal that, above all, recognizes that it is possible to harvest trees while ensuring the renewal process, maintaining biodiversity and protecting the very forest values which we all respect. All of our activities in the area of sustainable forest management and forest certification contribute to this objective and flow from a consistent corporate belief that our forests are a valuable resource and that it is in our best interest to manage and renew them with the utmost care and responsibility.
