The eight values above form the foundation of who we are and how we operate. We call this ‘“The Irving Way.’” These core values also guide our thinking and approach to sustainability. Managing our operations sustainably is not new to us; it has been the hallmark of our company since the very beginning.

It starts with how we manage our forests and extends to all of the products that come from them. The Irving Way reflects what we stand for and represents our ongoing commitment to our customers, with a promise that we can be counted on.

The Irving Way also reflects how we interact with our employees. We measure our performance from our employees' perspective annually with third-party employee engagement surveys to understand our strengths and opportunities to improve.
