Human Rights

Human rights are the basic standards of treatment to which all people are entitled worldwide, regardless of factors such as nationality, gender, race or economic status. We recognize that companies operating in today's global marketplace need a human rights policy, and adopted our human rights policy in 2008.

HUMAN RIGHTS CORE POLICY

Our vision is to deliver superior, sustainable land and forest solutions to the world. Fundamental to our vision is the importance we place on people, including:

• Our employees who develop solutions to meet the world’s challenges, and
• Our communities with whom we partner to strengthen the quality of life where we have a presence.

This policy is guided by the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is embodied in our:

• company values;
• core policies including those for employee relations, ethics, health and safety risk management and the environment; and
• our processes and resources such as our Code of Ethics, EthicsOnline and EthicsLine at 800-716-3488.

Our policy also respects and supports human rights and individual freedoms as follows:

Health and Safety: It is a shared responsibility of everyone at Weyerhaeuser to protect health and well-being through the prevention of injury and illness.

Fair Working Conditions: We adhere to employment laws in the jurisdictions where we operate, and in many cases exceed minimum standards. These include maximum hours of daily labor, rates of pay, minimum age, privacy, freedom from discrimination, and other fair working conditions. We do not employ nor do we support the use of child labor.

Freedom of Engagement: We prohibit the use of chattel slaves, forced labor, bonded laborers or coerced prison labor.

Freedom of Association: We respect the right of employees to freely choose to organize and bargain collectively, as stated in our labor principles. Managers also have the right to provide accurate and timely information to employees in an atmosphere free from coercion or manipulation.

Relationships with Indigenous People: We respect indigenous cultures and legally recognized rights and status. We work cooperatively with governments, including those of indigenous communities. We make employment opportunities known to indigenous peoples in areas where we operate, and use and recognize their skills and knowledge.

Community Engagement: We work to strengthen the quality of life in communities where Weyerhaeuser has a presence. We also increase society’s understanding of the importance and sustainability of forests. We communicate openly to build positive relationships with community leaders, employees and other stakeholders.

Environmental Responsibility: We are responsible stewards of the environment wherever we do business. We practice sustainable forestry, set and meet goals to reduce pollution, conserve natural resources and energy, meet or exceed applicable laws, and continually improve our environmental performance.
