About Washington Pacific Industries
The Company
 Washington
Pacific Industries, Inc., ("WPI") incorporated in
December 2002, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Paxton
International Resources Ltd., a public corporation with
several wholly-owned subsidiaries.
While the history of WPI is brief, we do believe in some
old fashioned principles: our people are our most valuable
asset; being a good corporate citizen; and being environmentally
responsible.
The People
We believe the success of any company can usually be traced
back to the quality of its employees, especially in the case
of a relatively new company. At WPI we have outstanding
individuals throughout the organization. They are skillful,
dedicated, hard working and industrious. They are the key
to our success!
As our employees are our most valuable asset, the health
and safety of our people is our first priority and is promoted
from the yard operations, to the saw line, up to the management
levels. We continually strive to have the safest work sites
of any forestry company in North America. We take great care
to prevent work related accidents and diseases by ensuring
all work sites maintain effective health and safety practices.
Safe work practices and procedures are continually monitored
and promoted to ensure the safety of our most valuable asset
-- our employees.
The Community
WPI believes in being a good corporate citizen. Not only
do we strive to provide good, stable employment for local
citizens but also to establish good working relations with
other local companies and the community in general.
The Environment
 As a user of a natural resource, we are well aware of the
need to protect the environment. This is also part of being
a good corporate citizen. At WPI we promote the use of wood
products as a good choice for the environment because wood
products are both a renewable resource and a recyclable one.
As well, we seek to minimize the environmental impact of
our operations, prevent pollution and strive for continuous
improvement of our environmental performance. We operate
in compliance with all applicable laws pertaining to the
environment and regularly review our practices and procedures
to monitor and report on environmental performance.
