On November 1, 2012, Resolute released its Sustainability Report for 2011 Performance. To learn about our commitments, achievements and progress, read our new Sustainability Report 
.
The report details Company efforts to balance environmental, social and economic considerations. The report also publicly introduces Resolute’s first Company-wide sustainability strategy which has three primary areas of focus:
- Reinforce Resolute’s environmental credentials, taking appropriate steps to responsibly manage its environmental footprint
- Position the Company as a competitive employer, attracting and retaining employees based on opportunities to quickly learn and grow within a dynamic organization
- Build solid community relations in Resolute’s operating locations, recognizing that economically viable and civically involved companies support long-term regional prosperity
Our Approach to Sustainability
Ensuring sustainability is one of our shared corporate values. Making sustainability an integral part of the way we do business is an essential element of our strategy to build a globally competitive company and deliver value to shareholders over the long term.
Resolute’s approach to sustainability has evolved over the past decade. Thanks to individual and group leadership, the Company has improved performance in areas such as health and safety, energy use and sustainable forest management.
We believe that being sustainable requires looking beyond compliance to mitigate our environmental and social impacts. Resolute considers working towards a balanced approach to our environmental, social and economic responsibilities will improve our long-term competitiveness.
Key Commitments
Resolute believes that targets are an integral part of a sustainability strategy, and we will report annually on our progress towards meeting our commitments. Ensuring continuous improvement requires the use of SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound) targets. While some of the goals listed below meet this definition, others are still being refined. One of the main focuses of our Sustainability Committee will be to refine our sustainability commitments.
The Company has made a number of key commitments going forward, including:
- Forestry and Fiber
Increasing Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certification of managed woodlands from 18% in 2010 to 80% by 2015.
- Climate Change
Achieving a 65% absolute reduction in scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2015 over the 2000 base year.
- Environment
Reducing environmental incidents by 10% in 2013 compared to the 2012 baseline.
- Employees
Ensuring the next generation of the Company’s workforce, with the goal of recruiting between 2,500 and 3,500 employees over the next three years.
- Health and Safety
Reducing our Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) incident rate to 1.0 or below in 2013, with the ultimate goal of zero incidents, zero injuries across all Company facilities.
- Stakeholder engagement
Establishing, by end of 2013, information-sharing Community Groups at Company operations to further enhance community relations efforts.
