Participating in the Political Process

Weyerhaeuser participates in the political process to help shape public policy and legislation that have a direct effect on our company. This engagement is tied closely to our business strategies and is an important way to build and protect our license to operate. Our involvement includes coalition building, relationship building, advocacy, political contributions and grass roots activities.

Weyerhaeuser's reputation and relationships with government officials are extremely important assets, which contribute significantly to our success. Therefore, we are committed to maintaining and enhancing strong relationships with government officials through ethical, responsible and lawful actions.

Employees

Weyerhaeuser strongly supports employee involvement in political affairs and encourages and supports lawful individual activities that involve political parties, candidates or issues.

We encourage employees to register and exercise their right to vote. Our intranet site includes online voter registration information for U.S. employees as well as tools to identify elected representatives, contact them, and review their voting records. We also engage our employees to voluntarily advocate for the company in communications with public officials on "calls to action" relating to issues of high impact and importance.
