Weyerhaeuser Co

PARTICIPATING IN PUBLIC POLICY

Our ethical and transparent involvement in public policy includes coalition and relationship building, advocacy, political contributions and grassroots activities. As active members of our communities, we participate in the political process to help shape policy and legislation affecting our company and industry, and we do so without regard to the private political preferences of executives. All political contributions are managed by our government affairs team under a general delegation of authority from our general counsel. Public policy and legislative priorities are reviewed regularly with senior business leaders and at least annually with our board of directors' Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee.

Our political engagement is tied to our business strategies and is an important way to maintain our license to operate. Current issues of importance to us include:

* Taxation of timberlands in the United States
* Softwood lumber trade between the United States and Canada and trade policy in Asia
* Forest management policies, conservation benefits of forest management and the use of herbicides in silvicultural practices
* Energy policies, including the role of biomass in renewable energy policies
* Climate policies, including impacts on manufacturing costs and positive recognition of sequestered carbon in forests and forest products. If legislation is proposed to address climate change, we support federal action rather than state-specific solutions. We support climate policies that achieve the following:
+ Recognize managed, productive forests and wood products as part of the solution to climate change
+ Recognize carbon dioxide emissions from biomass as carbon neutral
+ Establish a robust market-based program that allows credit for the sequestration and storage of carbon through reforestation, afforestation, avoided deforestation, harvested wood products and forest management projects
+ Provide credit for early actions, such as those taken over the past decade, that reduce greenhouse gas emissions or increase sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide
+ Ensure energy-intensive manufacturers are not at a competitive disadvantage
* Clean air and water policies, including impacts on manufacturing processes and forest management activities
* Recognition for the sustainable attributes of wood and forest products, including mass timber construction
* Conservation of, and access to, the boreal forest and protection of caribou in Canada
* Recognition for all credible forest certification standards

We follow both the letter and the spirit of the laws governing lobbying. Our managers receive regular training on current laws and practices, and we work fairly and honestly with public officials at all levels. We are members of more than 100 local, regional, provincial and national associations.

Some states allow companies to contribute directly to campaigns for state and local offices and for ballot measures. We file these contributions as required at state and local levels. We also sponsor a U.S. Weyerhaeuser Political Action Committee, which solicits voluntary contributions from eligible shareholders, employees and our company board of directors. WPAC contribution reports are filed with the Federal Election Commission, and we provide a summary in our annual report of WPAC political donations.
