Environmental
We, the shareholders and employees of Millar Western Forest Products, live and raise our families where we work, and have based our livelihoods on renewable natural resources. We have a direct interest in minimizing any adverse impacts of our activities and promoting the long-term health of the environment.

Our corporate environmental policy is to:

• meet or surpass the requirements of all environmental laws and regulations that pertain to our operations, and comply with all other environmental standards to which we have committed;
• continually improve our understanding of the natural environment and our performance in managing environmental matters through investments in research, training and technology;
• work diligently to achieve sustainable use of natural resources, and to reduce waste, abate emissions, and minimize adverse effects on the environment; and
• consider relevant environmental issues in all corporate and operational planning, regularly evaluate our environmental performance, and update our corporate and operational environmental policies to ensure they reflect changes inside and outside the company that affect them.

Millar Western will help employees understand our corporate and operational environmental policies and develop the skills and commitment necessary to uphold them. We will provide information on our environmental policies and practices to our customers, communities and investors, and welcome the views of all interested parties.

Reporting to the President and CEO, the Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer will be responsible for overseeing the implementation of Millar Western's environmental policies.
