We regularly consult with the communities where we work to understand their concerns and identify common goals and needs. Together we agree on the approach that will best serve the community and that will have the most positive impact.

In 2008, we conducted community outreach meetings in three neighborhoods near Everett operations – Bayview, Riverside and Port Gardner. The meetings included a presentation on the history of the Everett mill and an overview of current operations, including environmental compliance. This helped inform local residents about our activities, products and people. We prefer to engage with local communities positively, rather than reacting to complaints when something goes wrong.

K-C also sponsored a tree-planting event in the neighborhood adjacent to our Riverside wood yard. We provided over 350 trees and shrubs plus over 40 volunteers from the mill over the two-day event.
