Sustainability at Weyerhaeuser

Did You Know?

Weyerhaeuser's 2007 total shareholder return--10.96%--outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

By reviewing a customer's home design plans, Weyerhaeuser has helped them reduce hundreds of pounds of waste that otherwise would have gone to landfill. Tim Schaeffer Communities in New Jersey is now using iLevel's NextPhase™ Site Solutions to reduce materials cost and increase efficiency by eliminating the need to cut materials on site. Waste reduction adds up to nearly 200 pounds per home, or more depending on home size. The new found efficiencies also reduce framing materials costs by several hundred dollars per home.

We're working toward this future every day: Researching and developing low-carbon transportation fuel made from cellulose-based sources. Committing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Delivering distinctive products to market. Focusing on a safe, inclusive workplace for all employees. And managing our environmental impact to reduce our footprint on the Earth.
