Indigenous People

Weyerhaeuser is committed to developing and maintaining positive relationships with aboriginal communities wherever we operate. For example, in Canada, where Weyerhaeuser is a steward of public land, we work to support and sustain the role of aboriginal peoples in Canadian forests. Our relationships with aboriginal communities include:

• Contractual relationships for timber harvesting, forest silviculture, infrastructure development, and other goods and services
• Involvement with and donations to aboriginal community initiatives
• Support for education to help develop employment skills
• Employment opportunities

Weyerhaeuser also works with key contractors and suppliers to develop awareness about respectful workplace behavior and encourages them to ensure their work forces reflect the populations where they operate.
