Montreal, October 7, 2014 /3BL Media/ – Domtar Corporation (NYSE:UFS) (TSX: UFS) is pleased to announce an expanded offering of FSC certified paper products as part of the company’s commitment to environmental and social responsibility.  The company recently announced updates to its Xerox® Paper and Specialty Media Line, including a whole new packaging look, a realignment of the product line, as well as a series of product enhancements.

“Domtar is fully committed to the environment, and sustainability practices have always been one of our key pillars; therefore it was really important to us that the Xerox® Paper and Specialty Media Line, as one of our flagship brands, should carry the gold standard of forest certification.” said Paige Goff, vice president of sustainability and business communications at Domtar.

This announcement follows the celebration of the sale of five million tons sold of FSC certified paper, a key milestone for Domtar and the North American paper industry. 

"In their commitment to consumer engagement about responsible forest management and to the Forest Stewardship Council, Domtar has long been a leader. Now with FSC certification extending to the iconic Xerox brand, Domtar has an opportunity to reach an even broader audience about the importance of protecting forests for future generations.” said Corey Brinkema, President of FSC-U.S. 

 In addition, due to Domtar’s commitment to sustainability practices, the company carries the prestigious WWF Panda logo on the entire line of Xerox® office and premium office papers as a mark of their ongoing support of World Wildlife Fund’s global conservation efforts.

“We felt like both our customers, and consumers, would benefit by seeing the WWF Panda logo on many of the Xerox® Paper and Specialty Media products.  We’ve found that when people make choices about their paper products, they liked knowing that the product they purchase helps to support environmental efforts, like those of World Wildlife Fund.” said Goff.
