		Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) is a multinational corporation in the pulp and paper industry.
		(US$M) Weyerhaeuser was founded in January of 1900 by Friedrich Weyerhäuser and 15 partners with 900,000 acres (3,600 km²) of Washington timberland.

	Weyerhaeuser
		Weyerhaeuser has come to be known as one of the worldÆs shrewdest timber companies, having developed sophisticated public relations campaigns - including a television advertising campaign to gain recognition as "the tree-growing company" - to allay public concerns over the ecological impacts of the companyÆs patented clear-cutting techniques.
		Weyerhaeuser Mortgage is one of the five largest mortgage-banking companies in the United States, with over $11 billion in loans in the late 1980s.
		Weyerhaeuser spends millions of dollars on radio spots and full-page newspaper advertisements extolling the benefits of industrial, intensively managed "forest" operations, and the virtues of "tree-growing." Not surprisingly, it fails to mention the costs to communities and ecosystems once clear-cutting comes to its logical end.

	01-7067 -- Gibson v. Weyerhaeuser Co. -- 05/24/2002
		Weyerhaeuser obtained "timber rights" from nearby landowners, and then contracted with "loggers" to harvest the timber in question and deliver the timber to its Wright City facility.
		Weyerhaeuser then filed a motion for summary judgment and a brief in support thereof, seeking, inter alia, summary judgment in its favor because there was "no evidence of any fraudulent intent on the part of Weyerhaeuser." Plaintiffs filed a response and brief in opposition to the motion.
		Weyerhaeuser's position on this matter is that plaintiffs were not given so-called "renewal" contracts because they failed to comply with its newly created "contractor management system," a system adopted by Weyerhaeuser at the government's insistence, designed to measure a contractor's performance in various categories including safety, the environment, truck weight, management and workmanship.

	Electrical: Energy Efficiency - Weyerhaeuser Energy Policy Yields Rapid Payback
		Weyerhaeuser's Longview Complex, in Longview, Washington, is one of 280 company facilities that now save money with high-efficiency motors and transformers, thanks to a company-wide energy policy.
		Besides using their forests wisely, Weyerhaeuser made a corporate policy decision to pursue "green" policies like utilizing more than 98% of its raw materials and by burning its organic residues in waste-heat-recovery boilers, which generate enough electricity for two-thirds of its energy needs.
		Weyerhaeuser therefore concluded that all non-IEEE 841 motors should be evaluated and, as a practical matter, that any motors projecting a payback period less than 3.5 years should be replaced.
