OUR BUSINESS
Our Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources segment is affected by a variety of factors, including the general state of the economy, local real estate market conditions, the level of construction activity in the U.S., and the evolution of emerging renewable energy and carbon-related markets.
Sustainability is one of the core values of our company and has been for over 100 years.
We successfully integrated sustainability into our business roadmaps, enabling employees across business lines to identify key sustainability levers and clearly see how their day-to-day work impacts our overall performance.
average, only two percent of our forests each year, and 100 percent of our timberlands are reforested after harvesting.
In 2021, we reached a significant milestone in publishing our inaugural carbon record, which provides details of the total carbon impact enabled by our forests and wood products.
Our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions are calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol's Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
In 2022, we obtained limited assurance for our 2020 and 2021 scope 1 and location-based scope 2 emissions from a third-party attestation provider.
Our scope 3 emissions are calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol's Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard.
In 2022, we also joined The Climate Pledge, committing to achieve net-zero carbon emissions across our value chain by 2040.
In 2022, we committed to the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Better Plants Program to improve energy efficiency at our manufacturing facilities by 10 percent between 2020 and 2030.
This partnership requires us to adopt a company-wide goal to improve energy efficiency, annually report our progress to the DOE and develop an energy management plan.
We developed a comprehensive wood products energy strategy and have begun implementation of this strategy by developing short-term action plans, evaluation tools and energy champions at all sites.
We also fully integrated greenhouse gas and energy metrics into capital planning processes and conducted energy audits at multiple manufacturing sites.
We also support other renewable energy solutions, such as wind and solar power, through our timberlands.
These practices include leaving buffers along riparian areas, surveying sites for

In 2022, about 275 of our leaders participated in these programs.
To achieve this, we are focused on three key areas: leadership, people and culture.
We have in place an Inclusion Council of 25 diverse employees from across our company and a dedicated director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) who works with our leaders to set annual goals, review our progress and adjust our approach to meet evolving best practices.

CYBERSECURITY
Our risk management program includes focused efforts on managing cybersecurity risk, including the following:
| | |
| | A robust information security training program that requires all company employees with access to our networks to participate in regular and mandatory training on how to be aware of, and help defend against, cyber risks, combined with periodic testing to measure the efficacy of our training efforts. |
| | Alignment of our program with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework to prevent, detect and respond to cyberattacks. |
| | Ongoing adoption of a “zero trust” cybersecurity model. |
| | Regular and robust testing of our systems to assess our vulnerability to cyber risk, which includes targeted penetration testing, tabletop incident response exercises, periodic audits of our systems by outside industry experts and regular vulnerability scanning. |
| | Testing and audits of our IT-related internal controls over financial reporting by our independent external auditors. |

Real Estate is affected by the health of the U.S. economy and local real estate market conditions, such as the level of supply or demand for properties sharing the same or similar characteristics as our timberlands.
Energy and Natural Resources is affected by underlying demand for commodities, including natural gas and minerals.
STORING CARBON
billion and 3.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (mtCO2e).
In 2021, we reached a significant milestone in publishing our inaugural carbon record.
Our carbon emissions totaled 7 million mtCO2e in 2020, with just 1 million of that total being our direct and indirect emissions.
These direct and indirect emissions are primarily attributable to electricity and fuel usage within our Wood Products mills, which speaks to the low carbon intensity of wood products manufacturing.
See further discussion in the “Improving Air Quality” section below.
Because our forests rely on rainwater to grow, our company’s measurable impact on water use is
We also reduce energy use in our manufacturing facilities by evaluating and implementing efficiency gains, such as utilizing more efficient manufacturing equipment and processes.
Between 2016 and 2020, we improved our overall energy efficiency by 3 percent.
In the first half of 2021, we launched an energy strategy team to focus on increasing energy efficiency at our manufacturing facilities.
The team is benchmarking energy efficiency across all manufacturing facilities to identify opportunities for improvement and will implement best practices to further our progress.
Beyond reducing our own energy consumption, we also offer other energy solutions.
Our timberlands provide an important land base for renewable energy production, such as wind and solar power.
IMPROVING AIR QUALITY
Between 2000 and 2020, we reduced our total greenhouse gas emissions by 57 percent.
We achieved these reductions primarily by consolidating operations to higher-efficiency mills, replacing fossil fuels with carbon-neutral biomass fuels, and reducing fertilizer use in our timberlands.
We expect to maintain these gains and further decrease our emissions with the continued installation of new, more efficient equipment and by investing in capital projects that decrease our need for fossil fuels and other greenhouse gas-emitting sources.
In 2021, we set and submitted a science-based greenhouse gas reduction target to the Science Based Targets initiative at the most ambitious level in alignment with the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degree Celsius.
With this very important milestone, we’re excited to join a select group of climate leaders who are on a path to net zero emissions.

In early 2020, our focus on workplace safety enabled us to quickly implement additional protocols to safeguard the health of our employees and preserve business continuity at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and this focus has continued to guide our policies and practices through the present time.
We typically enroll hundreds of leaders in these in-person programs each year.
However, in 2021, due to ongoing COVID-related health and safety restrictions, we delivered our programs in virtual formats where viable.
To achieve this, we are focused on seven key areas: leadership and accountability, equitable practices and policies, recruiting and hiring, training and development, communication and culture, affinity and connection, and community outreach.
Our Inclusion Council helps us set annual goals for improvement in each category, and we share our progress internally and externally.
This Council comprises 20 diverse employees from across our company who provide insights and recommendations to our senior
Excluding temporary hires, in 2021, 47 percent of the company’s new U.S. hires met the company’s criteria for diversity, which includes race/ethnicity, gender and veteran status.
