Statement Regarding California Transparency in Supply Chains Act

The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 requires retailers and manufacturers that do business in California to publicly disclose their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their supply chains.

Weyerhaeuser seeks to build relationships with our suppliers based on mutual benefit, trust, performance and a joint commitment to continuous improvement. We expect—and our contracts require—suppliers to operate ethically and to comply with all contract terms, laws and regulations.

The standard terms of our supplier contracts allow us to conduct compliance audits. We apply a risk-based approach to determine which suppliers are subject to audit by our internal procurement or audit resources.

Most of our raw materials are sourced—and most of our manufacturing activities are conducted—in North America. While we believe the risk of slavery or human trafficking in our supply chain is low, we nonetheless have a variety of mechanisms in place to assess and reduce risks in our supply chain, including:

EXPECTATIONS FOR SUPPLIERS

The standard terms of purchase that apply to our U.S.- and Canadian-based contracts require suppliers to comply with all applicable laws, including safety, labor and employment laws. Our suppliers must become familiar, comply and maintain policies consistent with Weyerhaeuser's standard environmental, health and safety requirements.

We apply our ethical conduct standards when selecting suppliers and business partners. We expect our suppliers to act in accordance with our supplier code of ethics.

As part of our sustainability strategy, we continue to develop and include appropriate sustainability criteria in our supplier performance expectations.

HUMAN RIGHTS POLICY

We recognize that companies operating in today's global marketplace need a human rights policy and adopted our human rights policy in 2008. Our human rights policy prohibits the use of “chattel slaves, forced labor, bonded laborers or coerced prison labor” and we expect that our suppliers will maintain fair working conditions and freedom of engagement and association.

THIRD-PARTY CERTIFICATION OF FIBER SOURCING

All of Weyerhaeuser’s operations in North America are certified to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® Certified Sourcing Standard. The SFI Standard contains twenty objectives, including Objective 13, Avoidance of controversial sources including fiber sourced from areas without effective social laws. Indicators supporting this objective require certified companies that source forest based raw material from outside the U.S. and Canada to have a process to assess the risk that their fiber sourcing could occur in countries without effective laws addressing workers’ health and safety, fair labor practices, indigenous peoples’ rights, anti-discrimination and anti-harassment measures, prevailing wages, and workers’ right to organize. Many of our operations are also certified to the Programme for the Endorsement of Certification Chain of Custody Standard, which includes requirements that forced labor is not used.

ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT OF FOREIGN SUPPLIERS

We have been a member of the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism since 2003. As part of this program, we conduct risk assessments of our foreign suppliers. The threat of smuggling humans is one of the risk factors considered in this assessment. We also gather information to assess whether security vulnerabilities may create a high risk supply chain and, if indicated, develop a map of the supplier’s cargo flow and business partners. If needed, we work with our suppliers to develop a corrective action plan to address any gaps or vulnerabilities, and periodically audit the Supplier Questionnaire Logs and Supplier Action Plans.

ACCOUNTABILITY

A supplier’s failure to comply with these expectations will result in termination of the supplier relationship. Employees who fail to comply with these expectations are subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

EMPLOYEE TRAINING

Our long term goals includes commitments to develop human rights training for employees and to ensure that procurement professionals fully understand the expectations included in the supplier code of ethics.

TRANSPARENCY AND DISCLOSURE

We report on our pages progress towards meeting our long-term sustainability goals annually on our website.
