TEMBEC IN TOP 50

TEMISCAMING, QC — Tembec has been named one of 2004’s Best 50 Corporate Citizens in Canada, earning a first place rank in the Pulp and Paper and Forest Products Industry. To secure a spot amongst the coveted 50, a company is required to attain a higher score than its peers across seven categories.

Tembec president and chief executive officer Frank Dottori feels the award is indicative of the company’s emphasis on corporate responsibility. “Above all, the award shows that our commitment to sustainability is more than just words. It’s rooted in action and achievement, reflecting a culture of responsible behavior,” he said.

This year marks the third annual ranking of Canada’s Best 50 Corporate Citizens. Classifications are available in five categories including environment, international stakeholder relations/human rights, product safety and business practices, community relations and employee relations/diversity in the workplace.
