Sustainability Progress Report 2023

“Mosaic Forest Management’s business is built on sustainability and safety, which is critical to supporting our employees, contractors, Indigenous partnerships, and communities. Sustainable forests today are the forests in which we will continue to work in the future.”

 

Everyone on the Mosaic team contributed to our continued advances and achievements outlined in this report. Our shared work in sustainability and safety helped Mosaic earn recognition for the third consecutive year as one of BC’s Top Employers.

Some of the 2023 highlights for Mosaic included:

  • Implemented Mosaic Capture, a company-wide digital safety system that delivers efficiencies and insights through data capture and analytics to improve safety through data and culture-based enhancements.

  • Expanded Mosaic-sponsored training with the second-growth log scaling program, producing licensed workers for Mosaic and its contractors.

  • Achieved the Leadership in Conservation Award from the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) for working to adapt to and mitigate climate change and our early and enthusiastic adoption to advance SFI’s climate smart forestry objective, including creating the BigCoast Forest Climate Initiative.

  • Earned gold-level Progressive Aboriginal Relations certification with the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, making Mosaic the first and only timberland owner in Canada to achieve standard of excellence.
  • Created the new Mosaic Pavilion at the Parksville Museum to share the story of local forests and modern, sustainable forest management practices.

  • Conducted public consultations to help Mosaic’s real estate arm, Couverdon, shape its application for rezonings to make the Powell River Benchlands project and its range of housing options a reality for the community.

In 2023, we commissioned a comprehensive environmental, social, and governance evaluation as part of our commitment to continuing to evolve our reporting framework. The top priorities in the assessment were sustainable forest management, Indigenous relations, water resources, and climate change adaptation, which align with Mosaic’s core values. We are committed to continuous improvement and utilizing such reviews to enhance our 2024 and future reports.

Our 2023 sustainability performance and accomplishments are possible because of the talent and dedication of Mosaic’s employees and contractors. I sincerely thank all our employees and contractors for their relentless commitment to sustainability.

Rob Gough, President & CEO
