To survive, a forest relies on a wide variety of species, living together and dependent on one another. Every ecosystem needs biodiversity to adapt and prosper over the long term.
The same is true in the workplace. For companies like Weyerhaeuser, diversity is not just about compliance or equal opportunity—it’s about our very survival. For our business to thrive as our forests do, we must build a diverse team of talented people who bring a wealth of ideas and perspectives to every challenge we face.
It takes vision to build such a team. It takes time and discipline. Above all, it takes action.
We’ve made excellent progress in recent years to improve diversity across our work force and to create an environment that welcomes a wide variety of high-performing people. We set high expectations and hold ourselves accountable for getting results. We do this not only for our employees, customers and communities, but also because it’s the best way for our company to stay strong and viable over the long term.
Our respect for diversity and inclusion is deeply rooted—in the forest, our workplace and the communities where we operate. Working together, our people use expertise and a diverse mix of thinking to find innovative and sustainable solutions for people and the planet.
