Resolute highlights leadership awards and distinctions received in 2023

Resolute shared in a recent post that the company’s leadership was recognized in 2023 on a regional, North American and global scale for their corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, as well as business practices.

Two Resolute employees earned accolades for outstanding achievement in their field. Claudia Roberge, superintendent of Health and Safety at the company’s Lac-Saint-Jean and Mauricie (Quebec) woodlands operations, took bronze in the Female Achiever/Committed Professional of the Year category at the Globee Awards for Women in Business, while Alexis Bolduc-Gagnon, superintendent, Health and Safety, at our Dolbeau (Quebec) paper mill won the Rising Star Award at the Forest Products Association of Canada’s Awards of Excellence.

Last year, Resolute’s Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Advisory Committee implemented a program of activities in line with a new strategy in order to provide education and increase awareness around DE&I challenges; promote inclusive behaviour and language; and encourage constructive, respectful conversations across the organization. These efforts were recognized with a Stevie Award for Great Employers (Employer of the Year – Manufacturing) as well as the Diversity and Inclusion Award at The Norns Awards.

In April 2023, Resolute inaugurated a plant producing cellulose filaments, an innovative wood-based biomaterial, in Saguenay (Quebec). The new construction and product line received three distinctions: a Sustainable Innovation Award at the SEAL Business Sustainability Awards; a gold Stevie award at the 20th annual International Business Awards (IBAs) in the Sustainability Product of the Year (Canada and U.S.A.) category; and a Sustainability Product of the Year Award at the Business Intelligence Group (BIG) Sustainability Awards.

Resolute was also named Company of the Year – Manufacturing at the Globee Awards for Leadership for excellence in manufacturing, driving innovation and delivering high-quality products with precision and efficiency.
