Our Environmental Policy

Tolko is committed to the well-being of future generations through responsible environmental performance. This is a key value of the Company. Our ability to operate the business, satisfy customers and other stakeholders, and build sustainable economic success is increasingly dependent on our environmental performance.

Activities that support this policy are:

• Complying with environmental laws and regulations and other requirements to which we commit;
• Continually improving our environmental performance;
• Integrating the requirements of environmental laws and regulations and our other commitments into business planning and decision-making;
• Managing forest land in a professional and sustainable manner consistent with Tolko’s Forest Management Principles;
