Stakeholder Engagement

The way we engage with our stakeholders varies according to the nature of our relationship with them. However, there's at least one quality common to each of these relationships: We listen and are open to change so that we can strengthen our performance.

During 2006, we conducted surveys and interviews to understand how we are perceived by a variety of internal and external stakeholders. Stakeholders had varying points of view on the company but agreed that, in the future, Weyerhaeuser should more boldly claim these traits: focused, responsible, accountable and innovative. This information is being used to help us set priorities for action and improve our transparency, including in this report.

Stakeholder Inquiries Focus on Environmental Practices

We track all requests for information and issues customers and other stakeholders care about. In 2006, customer and stakeholder interest in the company's practices focused primarily on:

  • Forestry practices
  • Environmental management system certification
  • Sustainable forestry management certification
  • Chemical content and use
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Product-specific information, such as origin of fiber

We welcome these opportunities to answer customer and stakeholder questions about our practices and to share information about the company.
