CEO:
Daniel S. Fulton
Senior Executive Quote Regading Climate Change:
"Weyerhaeuser's 40 percent reduction in annual greenhouse gases is the equivalent of taking 700,000 vehicles off the road for one year. We will do this by harnessing the benefits of a renewable, natural resource -- biomass -- as fuel in the boilers that generate steam and electrical energy in our mills.
"In addition to substituting biomass fuel for fossil fuels, Weyerhaeuser will improve energy efficiency and install cleaner-burning boilers. This is a win-win for shareholders and the environment. Shareholders benefit from lower energy costs, and the environment benefits from lower emissions of greenhouse gases." --Ernesta Ballard, Senior Vice President for Corporate Affairs
