Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Our significant accounting policies describe: our election to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, how we report our results, changes in how we report our results and how we account for certain key items. OUR ELECTION TO BE TAXED AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT) Our company is a REIT and REIT income can be distributed to shareholders without first paying corporate level tax, substantially eliminating the double taxation on income. We expect to derive most of our REIT income from investments in timberlands, including the sale of standing timber through pay-as-cut sales contracts and lump sum timber deeds. We continue to be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on earnings of our Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs), which include our Wood Products segment and portions of our Timberlands and Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources (Real Estate & ENR) segments. HOW WE REPORT OUR RESULTS Our report includes: consolidated financial statements, our business segments, estimates, fair value measurements and foreign currency translation. Consolidated Financial Statements Our consolidated financial statements provide an overall view of our results and financial condition. They include our accounts and the accounts of entities that we control, including: majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. They do not include our intercompany transactions and accounts, which are eliminated. Throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements , unless specified otherwise, references to “Weyerhaeuser,” "the company," “we” and “our” refer to the consolidated company. Our Business Segments Reportable business segments are determined based on the company’s "management approach," as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 280, Segment Reporting . The management approach is based on the way the chief operating decision maker organizes the segments within a company for making decisions about resources to be allocated and assessing their performance. We are principally engaged in: growing and harvesting timber; maximizing the value of our acreage through the sale of higher and better use (HBU) properties and monetizing the value of surface and subsurface assets through leases and royalties and manufacturing, distributing and selling products made from trees. Our business segments are organized based primarily on products and services. SEGMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Timberlands Logs, timber, recreational leases and other products. Real Estate & ENR Real Estate (sales of timberlands) and ENR (rights to explore for and extract hard minerals, construction materials, natural gas production, wind and solar). Wood Products Structural lumber, oriented strand board, engineered wood products and building materials distribution. We also transfer raw materials, semi-finished materials and end products among our business segments. Because of this intracompany activity, accounting for our business segments involves pricing products transferred between our business segments at current market values. Unallocated items are gains or charges not related to, or allocated to, an individual operating segment. They include all or a portion of items such as share-based compensation, pension and post-employment costs, elimination of intersegment profit in inventory and LIFO, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, interest income and other. Estimates We prepare our financial statements according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). This requires us to make estimates and assumptions during our reporting periods and at the date of our financial statements. The estimates and assumptions affect our: reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity; disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. While we believe the assumptions used in preparing these estimates are appropriate and reasonable, actual results can and do differ from those estimates and assumptions. Fair Value Measurements We use a fair value hierarchy in accounting for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities including: long-lived assets (asset groups) measured at fair value for an impairment assessment; pension plan assets measured at fair value and asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in an active market. Level 2: Inputs are quoted prices in non-active markets for which pricing inputs are observable either directly or indirectly at the reporting date. Level 3: Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. Foreign Currency Translation We translate foreign currencies into U.S. dollars in two ways: assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates in effect as of our balance sheet date and revenues and expenses — at average monthly exchange rates throughout the year. CHANGES IN HOW WE REPORT OUR RESULTS Changes in how we report our results come from: reclassification of certain balances and results from prior years to make them consistent with our current reporting and accounting changes made upon our adoption of new accounting guidance. Reclassifications We have reclassified certain balances and results from prior years to be consistent with our 2023 reporting. This makes balances comparable from year to year. Our reclassifications had no effect on consolidated net earnings or equity. HOW WE ACCOUNT FOR CERTAIN KEY ITEMS This section provides information about how we account for certain key items related to: capital investments, financing our business and our operations. ITEMS RELATED TO CAPITAL INVESTMENTS Key items related to accounting for capital investments pertain to property and equipment, timber and timberlands and impairment of long-lived assets. Property and Equipment We maintain property accounts on an individual asset basis and account for them as follows: Improvements to and replacements of major units of property are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are expensed. Depreciation is calculated using a straight-line method at rates based on estimated service lives. Costs associated with logging roads that we intend to utilize for a period longer than one year are capitalized. These roads are then amortized over an estimated service life. Cost and accumulated depreciation of property sold or retired are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss is included in earnings. Timber and Timberlands We carry timber and timberlands at cost less depletion. Depletion refers to the carrying value of timber that is harvested or sold. Key activities affecting how we account for timber and timberlands include: reforestation, depletion and forest management in Canada. Reforestation. Generally, we capitalize initial site preparation and planting costs as reforestation and then expense costs after the first planting as they are incurred or over the period of expected benefit. These expensed costs include: fertilization, vegetation and insect control, pruning and precommercial thinning and property taxes. Accounting practices for these costs do not change when timber becomes merchantable and harvesting starts. Timber Depletion. To determine depletion rates, we divide the net carrying value of timber by the related volume of timber estimated to be available over the growth cycle. To determine the growth cycle volume of timber, we consider: regulatory and environmental constraints, our management strategies, inventory data improvements, growth rate revisions and recalibrations and known dispositions and inoperable acres. In addition, the duration of the harvest cycle varies by geographic region and species of timber. Depletion rate calculations do not include estimates for: future silviculture or sustainable forest management costs associated with existing stands; future reforestation costs associated with a stand's final harvest and future volume in connection with the replanting of a stand subsequent to its final harvest. We include the cost of timber harvested in the carrying values of raw materials and product inventories. As these inventories are sold to third parties, we include them in costs of sales. Forest Management in Canada. We manage timberlands under long-term licenses in various Canadian provinces that are: granted by the provincial governments; granted for initial periods of 15 to 25 years and renewable provided we meet reforestation, operating and management guidelines. Calculation of the fees we pay on the timber we harvest: varies from province to province, is tied to product market pricing and depends upon the allocation of land management responsibilities in the license. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We review the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever an event or a change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable through future operations. The carrying value is the original cost, less accumulated depreciation and any past impairments recorded. If we evaluate recoverability, we are required to estimate future cash flows and residual values of the asset or asset group. Key assumptions used in developing estimates of future cash flows and residual values could include probability of alternative outcomes, product pricing, raw material cost and product sales. An impairment occurs when the carrying value of a long-lived asset is greater than the amount that could be recovered from the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset and greater than fair market value (the amount we could receive if we were to sell the asset). Impaired assets held for use are written down to fair value, while impaired assets held for sale are written down to fair value less cost to sell. We determine fair value based on: appraisals, market pricing of comparable assets, discounted value of estimated future cash flows from the asset, replacement values of comparable assets and agreed upon sale price or offer price. Key assumptions used in developing estimates of fair value would include the estimated future cash flows used to assess recoverability, discount rates and probability of alternative outcomes. ITEMS RELATED TO FINANCING OUR BUSINESS Key items related to financing our business include financial instruments, cash equivalents and concentration of risk. Financial Instruments We estimate the fair value of financial instruments where appropriate. The assumptions we use — including the discount rate and estimates of cash flows — can significantly affect the fair value. These values are estimates and may not match the amounts we would realize upon sale or settlement of our financial positions. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are investments with maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. We state cash equivalents at cost, which approximates market. Concentration of Risk We disclose customers that represent a concentration of risk. As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, no customer accounted for 10 percent or more of our net sales. ITEMS RELATED TO OPERATIONS Key items related to operations include revenue recognition, inventories, shipping and handling costs, income taxes, pension and other post-employment benefit plans and contingent liabilities. Revenue Recognition Refer to Note 3: Revenue Recognition for details on how we account for revenue. Inventories We state inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes labor, materials and production overhead. LIFO applies to major inventory products held at our U.S. domestic locations. We began to use the LIFO method for domestic products in the 1940s as required to conform with the tax method elected. Subsequent acquisitions of entities added new products under the moving average cost or FIFO — the first-in, first-out — methods and those products continue to be recognized under those methods. The moving average cost or FIFO method applies to the balance of our domestic raw material and product inventories, all material and supply inventories and all foreign inventories. Shipping and Handling Costs We classify shipping and handling costs in "Costs of sales" in our Consolidated Statement of Operations . Income Taxes We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Unrecognized tax benefits represent potential future funding obligations to taxing authorities if uncertain tax positions we have taken on previously filed tax returns are not sustained. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as a component of income tax expense. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect: future tax consequences due to differences between the carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes and the tax bases of certain items and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. To measure deferred tax assets and liabilities, we: determine when the differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of affected items are expected to be recovered or resolved and use enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in those years. Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans We recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of our defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and recognize changes in the funded status through comprehensive income (loss) in the year in which the changes occur. Actuarial valuations determine the amount of the pension and other post-employment benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit cost we recognize. The net periodic benefit cost includes: cost of benefits provided in exchange for employees’ services rendered during the year; interest cost of the obligations; expected long-term return on plan assets; gains or losses on plan settlements and curtailments; amortization of prior service costs and plan amendments over the average remaining service period of the active employee group covered by the plans or the average remaining life expectancy in situations where the participants affected by the plan amendment are inactive and amortization of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial gains and losses — generally in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the benefit obligation or the combination of market-related and fair value of plan assets at the beginning of the year — over the average remaining service period of the active employee group covered by the plans or the average remaining life expectancy in situations where the plan participants are inactive. Pension plans. We have defined benefit pension plans covering approximately 40 percent of our employees. Determination of benefits differs for salaried, hourly and union employees as follows: Salaried employee benefits are based on each employee’s highest monthly earnings for five consecutive years during the final 10 years before retirement. Hourly and union employee benefits generally are stated amounts for each year of service. Union employee benefits are set through collective-bargaining agreements. We contribute to our U.S. and Canadian pension plans according to established funding standards. The funding standards for the plans are: U.S. pension plans — according to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and Canadian pension plans — according to the applicable provincial pension act and the Income Tax Act. Post-employment benefits other than pensions. We provide certain post-employment healthcare and life insurance benefits for some retired employees. In some cases, we pay a portion of the cost of the benefit. Note 8: Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans provides additional information about our post-employment benefit plans. Estimates for pension and other post-employment benefit plans. Estimates we use in accounting for our pension and other post-employment benefit plans include the: fair value of our plan assets; expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and discount rates. At the end of every year, we review our estimates with external advisers and make adjustments as appropriate. We use these estimates to calculate plan asset and liability information as of year-end as well as pension and post-employment expense for the following year. Actual experience that differs from our estimates and subsequent changes in our estimates could have a significant effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Fair value of plan assets. Plan assets are assets of the pension plan trusts that fund the benefits provided under the pension plans. The fair value of our plan assets estimates the amount that would be received if we were to sell each asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. We estimate the fair value of these assets based on the information available during the year-end reporting process. Refer to Note 8: Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans for information about the assets held within our pension plans and their related valuation methods. Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Our expected long-term rate of return is our estimate of the return that our plan assets will earn over time. This rate is used in determining the net periodic benefit or cost we recognize for our plans. Factors we consider in determining our expected long-term rate of return include: historical returns for a portfolio of assets similar to our expected allocation and expected future performance of similar asset classes. The actual return on plan assets in any given year may vary from our expected long-term rate of return. Actual returns on plan assets affect the funded status of the plans. Differences between actual returns on plan assets and the expected long-term rate of return are reflected as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of total equity. Discount rates. Discount rates are used to estimate the net present value of our plan obligations. The discount rates are determined at the measurement date by matching current spot rates of high-quality corporate bonds with maturities similar to the timing of expected cash outflows for benefits. Contingent Liabilities We are subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims related to environmental remediation, product and other matters, and are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as the amount or range of potential loss. We record contingent liabilities when: it becomes probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Assessing probability of loss and estimating the amount of loss can require analysis of multiple factors, such as: historical experience, evaluations of relevant legal and environmental authorities and regulations, judgments about the potential actions of third-party claimants and courts and consideration of potential environmental remediation methods. In addition to contingent liabilities recorded for probable losses, we disclose contingent liabilities when there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Recorded contingent liabilities are based on the best information available and actual losses in any future period are inherently uncertain. Future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value. If estimated probable future losses or actual losses exceed our recorded liability for such claims, we record additional charges. These exposures and proceedings can be significant and the ultimate outcomes could be material to our operating results or cash flows in any given period. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when the recovery is deemed probable and does not exceed the amount of losses previously recorded. See Note 13: Legal Proceedings, Commitments and Contingencies for more information. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Segment Reporting In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07,"Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the new guidance will not impact our Consolidated Statement of Operations , Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows . We plan to incorporate these expanded disclosures beginning in fourth quarter 2024. Income Taxes In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which expands annual income tax disclosures to disaggregate rate reconciliations and income taxes paid by nature and jurisdiction. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, however, retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance will not impact our Consolidated Statement of Operations , Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows . We plan to incorporate these expanded disclosures beginning in fourth quarter 2025. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
REVENUE RECOGNITION | NOTE 3: REVENUE RECOGNITION A majority of our revenue is derived from sales of delivered logs and manufactured wood products. We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS A performance obligation, as defined in ASC Topic 606, is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue at the point in time, or over the period, in which the performance obligation is satisfied. Performance obligations associated with delivered log sales are typically satisfied when the logs are delivered to our customers’ mills or delivered to an ocean vessel in the case of export sales. Performance obligations associated with the sale of wood products are typically satisfied when the products are shipped. We have elected, as an accounting policy, to treat shipping and handling that is performed after a customer obtains control of the product as an activity required to fulfill the promise to transfer the good; therefore we will not evaluate this requirement as a separate performance obligation. Customers are generally invoiced shortly after logs are delivered or after wood products are shipped, with payment generally due within a month or less of the invoice date. ASC Topic 606 requires entities to consider significant financing components of contracts with customers, though allows for the use of a practical expedient when the period between satisfaction of a performance obligation and payment receipt is one year or less. Given the nature of our revenue transactions, we have elected to utilize this practical expedient. Performance obligations associated with real estate sales are generally met when placed into escrow and all conditions of closing have been satisfied. CONTRACT ESTIMATES Substantially all of our performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time. Therefore, there is little judgment in determining when control transfers for our business segments as described above. The transaction price for log sales generally equals the amount billed to our customer for logs delivered during the accounting period. For the limited number of log sales subject to a long-term supply agreement, the transaction price is variable but is known at the time of billing. For wood products sales, the transaction price is generally the amount billed to the customer for the products shipped but may be reduced slightly for estimated cash discounts and rebates. There are no significant contract estimates related to the real estate business. CONTRACT BALANCES In general, customers are billed and a receivable is recorded as we ship and/or deliver wood products and logs. We generally receive payment shortly after products have been received by our customers. Contract asset and liability balances are immaterial. For real estate sales, the company receives the entire consideration in cash at closing.

PENSION AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS | NOTE 8: PENSION AND OTHER POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS This note provides details about defined benefit and defined contribution plans we sponsor for our employees. The "Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans" section of Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies provides information about how we account for pension and other post-employment plans and benefits. PLANS WE SPONSOR OVERVIEW OF PLANS The defined benefit pension plans we sponsor in the U.S. and Canada differ according to each country’s requirements. In the U.S., we have plans that qualify under the Internal Revenue Code (qualified plans), as well as plans for select employees that provide additional benefits not qualified under the Internal Revenue Code (nonqualified plans). In Canada, we have plans that are registered under the Income Tax Act and applicable provincial pension acts (registered plans), as well as nonregistered plans for select employees that provide additional benefits that may not be registered under the Income Tax Act or provincial pension acts (nonregistered plans). We also sponsor other post-employment benefit (OPEB) plans in the U.S. and Canada, including retiree medical and life insurance plans. Our defined benefit pension plans were closed to newly hired and rehired salaried and non-union employees effective January 1, 2014, and were closed to union employees at various dates over the course of 2014 to 2019. We sponsor various defined contribution plans for our U.S. and Canadian salaried and hourly employees. Our contributions to these plans were $ 35 million, $ 31 million and $ 27 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Actions to Reduce Pension Plan Obligations As part of our continued efforts to reduce pension plan obligations, we transferred approximately $ 420 million of Canadian registered assets and liabilities to insurance companies through the purchase of a group annuity contract in December 2022 (2022 Retiree Annuity Purchase). In connection with this transaction, we recorded a noncash pretax settlement charge of $ 205 million during 2022. This settlement charge accelerated the recognition of previously unrecognized losses in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss," that would have been recognized in subsequent periods. Given the timing of the 2022 Retiree Annuity Purchase, the plan remeasurement triggered as a result of the transaction was conducted as part of our annual valuation process. FUNDED STATUS OF PLANS The funded status of the plans we sponsor is determined by comparing the projected benefit obligation with the fair value of plan assets at the end of the year. The following table demonstrates how our plans' funded status is reflected on our Consolidated Balance Sheet . DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS PENSION OPEB 2023 2022 2023 2022 Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 2,278 $ 3,708 $ 95 $ 131 Service cost 23 36 — — Interest cost 118 106 5 3 Actuarial losses (gains) (1) 63 ( 933 ) ( 2 ) ( 26 ) Plan participants’ contributions — — 2 2 Benefits paid, including lump sum and annuity transfers ( 146 ) ( 598 ) ( 12 ) ( 13 ) Foreign currency translation and other 11 ( 41 ) 1 ( 2 ) Projected benefit obligation at end of year $ 2,347 $ 2,278 $ 89 $ 95 Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year (estimated) $ 2,053 $ 3,418 $ 8 $ 13 Actual return on plan assets (2) 71 ( 740 ) — — Employer contributions and benefit payments 14 17 6 7 Plan participants’ contributions — — 2 2 Benefits paid, including lump sum and annuity transfers ( 146 ) ( 598 ) ( 12 ) ( 13 ) Other, including foreign currency translation 8 ( 44 ) 1 ( 1 ) Fair value of plan assets at end of year (estimated) $ 2,000 $ 2,053 $ 5 $ 8 Presentation on our Consolidated Balance Sheet: (3) Noncurrent assets $ 49 $ 53 $ — $ — Current liabilities ( 11 ) ( 14 ) ( 8 ) ( 7 ) Noncurrent liabilities ( 385 ) ( 264 ) ( 76 ) ( 80 ) Funded status (4) $ ( 347 ) $ ( 225 ) $ ( 84 ) $ ( 87 ) Accumulated benefit obligation at end of year $ 2,289 $ 2,218 N/A N/A Actuarial Assumptions Used in Estimating Our Pension and OPEB Benefit Obligations: Discount rate (5) 4.70 - 5.20 % 5.30 - 5.40 % 4.60 - 5.10 % 5.30 - 5.40 % Rate of compensation increase (6) 1.00 - 13.00 % 1.00 - 13.00 % N/A N/A Lump sum or installment distributions election (7) 70.00 % 70.00 % N/A N/A Healthcare cost trend rate: Assumed for next year (8) N/A N/A 5.13 - 7.25 % 4.50 - 5.70 % Ultimate (8) N/A N/A 4.00 - 4.50 % 4.00 - 4.50 % Year when rate will reach ultimate (8) N/A N/A 2035 - 2040 2037 - 2040 (1) Actuarial losses (gains) are primarily due to year-over-year changes in discount rates. (2) Includes adjustments for final fair value of plan assets. (3) Assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet are different from the cumulative income or expense that we have recorded associated with the plans. The differences are actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs and credits that are deferred and amortized into periodic benefit costs in future periods. Unamortized amounts are recorded in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss", which is a component of total equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet . The "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss" section of Note 14: Shareholders' Interest details changes in these amounts by component. (4) For pension plans with a projected benefit obligation exceeding plan assets, the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets were $ 2.1 billion and $ 1.7 billion at December 31, 2023, respectively, and $ 2.1 billion and $ 1.8 billion at December 31, 2022, respectively. For pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation exceeding plan assets, the accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets were $ 2.1 billion and $ 1.7 billion at December 31, 2023, respectively, and $ 2.0 billion and $ 1.8 billion at December 31, 2022, respectively. (5) For the U.S. defined benefit plans, the discount rate assumption was 5.2 % and 5.4 % for 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the Canadian defined benefit plans, the discount rate assumption was 4.7 % and 5.3 % for 2023 and 2022, respectively. For U.S. OPEB plans, the discount rate assumption was 5.1 % and 5.4 % for 2023 and 2022, respectively. For Canadian OPEB plans, the discount rate assumption was 4.6 % and 5.3 % for 2023 and 2022, respectively. For lump sum distributions (for U.S. qualified salaried and nonqualified plans only), the interest and mortality assumptions are the same as those mandated by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 for benefits commencing in the current year. (6) For the U.S. defined benefit plans, the rate of compensation increase assumption for both 2023 and 2022 was between 2.00 % - 13.00 % for salaried participants and was decreasing with participant age. For the Canadian defined benefit plans, the rate of compensation increase assumption was 1.00 % - 2.75 % and 2.00 % - 2.75 % for salaried and hourly participants, respectively, for both 2023 and 2022. (7) U.S. qualified salaried and nonqualified plans only. (8) For U.S. OPEB plans, the healthcare cost trend rate assumption for the next year for Pre-Medicare was 7.25 % and 5.70 % for 2023 and 2022, respectively. The ultimate healthcare cost trend rate was 4.50 % for both 2023 and 2022 and the assumption for the year the ultimate healthcare cost trend rate is reached was 2035 and 2037 in 2023 and 2022, respectively. For Canadian OPEB plans, the healthcare cost trend rate was 5.13 % for 2023 and 5.20 % for 2022. The ultimate healthcare cost trend rate was 4.00 % and the assumption for the year the ultimate healthcare cost trend rate is reached was 2040 for both 2023 and 2022. PENSION ASSETS Our Investment Policies and Strategies Our investment policies, strategies and advisory agreements guide and direct how the funds are managed for the benefit plans we sponsor. These funds include our: U.S. Pension Trust — funds our U.S. qualified pension plans; Canadian Pension Trust — funds our Canadian registered pension plans and Retirement Compensation Arrangements — fund a portion of our Canadian nonregistered pension plans. U.S. and Canadian Pension Trusts In 2018, we began to shift pension plan assets to an allocation that more closely aligns with our pension plan liability profile. Our former investment strategy included investments primarily in hedge funds and private equity funds. These asset classes are now in redemption and run-off mode. However, given the long-term nature of these investments, they will continue to comprise a portion of the plan assets for several years. We expect all investments in redemption to be redeemed at amounts materially consistent with their net asset values (NAV). As these investments are redeemed or liquidated, cash proceeds available for investment will be invested in accordance with our current investment strategy. Our investment strategy targets a percentage allocation to growth assets and a percentage allocation to liability hedging assets based on each plan’s funded status. We expect to increase the allocation to liability hedging assets over time as the funded status of the pension plans improves. Growth assets may include investments in global equities, hedge funds (which are in redemption), private equity assets (which are in run-off mode), fixed income and real estate. Liability hedging assets may include corporate credit and government issued fixed income securities as well as treasury futures selected to align with the plan liabilities. Assets within our U.S. and Canadian pension trusts were invested as follows: DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, Cash and short-term investments (1) 4.1 % 3.6 % Public equity investments (2) 0.9 0.9 Fixed income investments: (3) Corporate 45.6 42.7 Government 16.9 15.5 Repurchase agreements ( 1.3 ) ( 0.6 ) Hedge funds and related investments (4)(5) 3.4 4.2 Private equity and related investments (5)(6) 30.5 34.5 Derivative instruments, net (7) 0.1 — Accrued liabilities ( 0.2 ) ( 0.8 ) Total 100.0 % 100.0 % (1) Cash and short-term investments are valued at cost, which approximates market. (2) Public equity investments are valued at exit prices quoted in active markets. (3) Fixed income investments include publicly traded corporate and government issued debt. These bonds have varying maturities, credit quality and sector exposure and are selected to align with the duration of our plan liabilities. Additionally, our fixed income portfolio includes repurchase agreements, which represent short-term borrowings to hedge against interest rate risk. We have an obligation to return the cash related to these borrowings in accordance with the agreements, which are collateralized by our government bonds. Fixed income investments are valued at exit prices quoted in active or non-active markets or based on observable inputs. (4) Hedge funds and related investments are privately-offered managed pools primarily structured as limited liability entities. General members or partners of these limited liability entities serve as portfolio managers and are thus responsible for the fund’s underlying investment decisions. Underlying investments within these funds may include long and short public and private equities, corporate, mortgage and sovereign debt, options, swaps, forwards and other derivative positions. These funds have varying degrees of leverage, liquidity and redemption provisions. (5) These investments are primarily valued based on the NAVs of the funds. These values represent the per-unit price at which new investors are permitted to invest and existing investors are permitted to exit. When NAVs as of the end of the year have not been received, we estimate fair value by adjusting the most recently reported NAVs for market events and cash flows between the interim date and the end of the year. (6) Private equity and related investments include both investments in private equity and investments in mezzanine distressed, co-investments and other structures. Private equity funds generally participate in buyout and venture capital strategies through unlisted equity and debt instruments. These funds may also borrow at the underlying entity level. Mezzanine and distressed funds generally invest in the debt of public or private companies with additional participation through warrants or other equity options. (7) Derivative instruments have historically been comprised of swaps, futures, forwards or options. At December 31, 2023, only a small amount of risk-mitigating futures remain in the portfolio. Derivative instruments are valued based upon valuation statement s received from each derivative’s counterparty. Retirement Compensation Arrangements Retirement compensation arrangements fund a portion of our Canadian nonregistered pension plans. As required by Canadian tax rules, approximately 50 percent of these assets are invested into a non-interest bearing refundable tax account held by the Canada Revenue Agency. This portion of the portfolio does not earn returns. The remaining portion is invested in a portfolio of equities. Managing Risk Investments and contracts are subject to risks including market price, interest rate, credit, currency and liquidity risks. We mitigate these risks to our pension plan asset portfolios through advisory agreements, investment in diversified portfolios, inclusion of fixed income investments that align with plan liabilities and investment in assets designed to address both currency and liquidity considerations. In addition, we and our investment advisers perform regular monitoring with ongoing qualitative assessments, quantitative assessments and investment and operational due diligence. Valuation of Our Plan Assets Pension assets are stated at fair value or NAV. Fair value is based on the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. We consider both observable and unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions applied by market participants when setting the exit price of an asset or liability in an orderly transaction within the principal market for that asset or liability. We value the pension plan assets based upon the observability of exit pricing inputs and classify pension plan assets based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the pension plan assets in their entirety. Refer to Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for details on the fair value hierarchy. The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period. We evaluate the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total net assets available for benefits. Investments for which fair value is measured using the NAV per share as a practical expedient are not categorized within the fair value hierarchy. The net pension plan assets, when categorized in accordance with this fair value hierarchy, are as follows.

Additionally, December 31, 2023 and 2022 exclude $ 3 million and $ 14 million of accrued liabilities, respectively. (2) Derivative instruments include futures contracts. The fair value and aggregate notional value of these contracts were $ 1 million and $ 393 million at Dece mber 31, 2023, respectively, and less than $ 1 million and $ 418 million at December 31, 2022, respectively. ACTIVITY OF PLANS Net Periodic Benefit Cost Our net periodic benefit cost and the assumptions used to estimate it are shown in the following table.

For the Canadian defined benefit plans, the discount rate assumption was 5.30 %, 3.10 % and 2.50 % for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For U.S. OPEB plans, the discount rate assumption was 5.40 %, 2.60 % and 2.10 %, for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For Canadian OPEB plans, the discount rate assumption was 5.30 %, 3.00 % and 2.40 % for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For lump sum distributions (for U.S. qualified salaried and nonqualified plans only), the interest and mortality assumptions are the same as those mandated by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 for benefits commencing in the current year. (2) Determining our expected return requires a high degree of judgment. We consider actual pension fund asset performance over multiple years, and current and expected valuation levels in the global equity and credit markets. Historical fund returns are used as a base and we place added weight on more recent pension plan asset performance. (3) For the U.S. defined benefit plans, the rate of compensation increase assumption for 2023, 2022 and 2021 was between 2.00 % - 13.00 % for salaried participants and was decreasing with participant age. For the Canadian defined benefit plans, the rate of compensation increase assumption for salaried participants was 1.00 % - 2.75 % for 2023 and 3.25 % for 2022 and 2021. The rate of compensation increase assumption for hourly participants was 2.00 % - 2.75 % for 2023 and 3.00 % for 2022 and 2021. (4) U.S. qualified salaried and nonqualified plans only. (5) For OPEB plans during 2023, the assumed weighted healthcare cost trend rate was 5.70 %, 4.50 % and 5.20 % for U.S. Pre-Medicare participants, U.S. HRA participants and Canadian OPEB plans, respectively. Pension Plan Contributions and Benefit Payments Established funding standards govern the funding requirements for our qualified and registered pension plans. We fund the benefit payments of our nonqualified and nonregistered plans as benefit payments come due. During 2023, we made contributions and/or benefit payments of $ 12 million for our U.S. nonqualified pension plans, $ 1 million for our Canadian nonregistered pension plans and $ 1 million for our Canadian registered plans. During 2024, based on estimated year-end asset values and projections of plan liabilities, we expect to make contributions and/or benefit payments of approximately: $ 10 million for our U.S. nonqualified pension plans, $ 2 million for the Canadian non-registered plans and $ 1 million for our Canadian registered plan (required contribution). We do not anticipate contributions being required for our U.S. qualified pension plan for 2024. OPEB Benefit Payments During 2023, we contributed $ 5 million and $ 1 million to our U.S. and Canadian OPEB plans, respectively. In 2024, we expect to make contributions of $ 7 million in total for our U.S. and Canadian OPEB plans, including $ 4 million expected to be required to cover benefit payments under collectively bargained contractual obligations.

These plans cover a small number of our employees and on an annual basis our contributions are immaterial. These plans have different risks than single-employer plans. Our contributions may be used to fund benefits for employees of other participating employers. If we choose to stop participating, we may be required to pay a withdrawal liability based on the underfunded status of the plan . If another participating employer stops contributing to the plan, we may become responsible for remaining plan unfunded obligations. |

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | NOTE 12: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FAIR VALUE OF DEBT The estimated carrying value and fair value of our long-term debt consisted of the following: DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS DECEMBER 31, 2023 DECEMBER 31, 2022 CARRYING FAIR VALUE CARRYING FAIR VALUE Long-term debt (including current maturities) and line of credit: Fixed rate $ 4,820 $ 4,853 $ 5,053 $ 4,918 Variable rate 249 250 — — Total Debt $ 5,069 $ 5,103 $ 5,053 $ 4,918 To estimate the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt, we used the market approach, which is based on quoted market prices we received for the same types and issues of our debt. We believe that our variable-rate long term debt and line of credit instruments have net carrying values that approximate their fair value with only insignificant differences. The inputs to the valuations of our long-term debt are based on market data obtained from independent sources or information derived principally from observable market data. The difference between the fair value and the carrying value represents the theoretical net premium or discount we would pay or receive to retire all debt at the measurement date. FAIR VALUE OF OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS We believe that our other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, mutual fund investments held in grantor trusts, receivables and payables, have net carrying values that approximate their fair values with only insignificant differences. This is primarily due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the allowance for doubtful accounts. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 13: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES This note provides details about our: legal proceedings, environmental matters and commitments and other contingencies. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Balance Sheet , Consolidated Statement of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows . ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS Site Remediation Under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) – commonly known as the “Superfund” – and similar state laws, we are a party to various proceedings related to the cleanup of hazardous waste sites and have been notified that we may be a potentially responsible party related to the cleanup of other hazardous waste sites for which proceedings have not yet been initiated. We have received notification from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and have acknowledged that we are a potentially responsible party in a portion of the Kalamazoo River Superfund site in southwest Michigan. Our involvement in the remediation site is based on our operation of the Plainwell, Michigan mill, located within the remediation site, from 1954 to 1970. Several other companies also have been deemed potentially responsible parties as past or present owners or operators of facilities within the site, or as arrangers under CERCLA. We cooperated with other parties to jointly implement an administrative order issued by the EPA on April 14, 2016, with respect to a portion of the site comprising a stretch of the river approximately 1.7 miles long referred to as the Otsego Township Dam Area. During third quarter 2018, implementation of this administrative order was completed. In 2010, the company, along with others, was named as a defendant by Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LP, Fort James Corporation and Georgia-Pacific LLC in an action seeking contribution under CERCLA for remediation costs relating to a certain area within the site. On March 29, 2018, the U.S. District Court issued an opinion and order assigning the company responsibility for 5 percent of approximately $ 50 million in past costs incurred by the plaintiffs. The remaining 95 percent of this pool of past costs incurred was allocated to the plaintiffs and other defendants. The opinion and order does not establish allocation for future remediation costs, and accordingly, we may incur additional costs in connection with future remediation tasks for other areas of the site. In 2022, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the District Court opinion, finding that Georgia-Pacific’s claims for cost contributions were time barred by the statute of limitations. Georgia-Pacific filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, which was denied during fourth quarter 2023 and redirected to the district court for further proceedings. As a result, Georgia-Pacific relinquished further appeals and the company was found not responsible for prior costs incurred by Georgia-Pacific. We have established accruals for estimated remediation costs on the active Superfund sites and other sites for which we are a potentially responsible party. These accruals are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet . Changes in the Accrual for Environmental Remediation DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS Accrual balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 64 Charges and adjustments, net 17 Payments ( 6 ) Accrual balance as of December 31, 2023 $ 75 We change our accrual to reflect: new information on any site concerning implementation of remediation alternatives, updates on prior cost estimates and new sites and costs incurred to remediate sites. Estimates. We believe it is reasonably possible, based on currently available information and analysis, that remediation costs for all identified sites may exceed our existing accruals by up to $ 213 million. This estimate, in which those additional costs may be incurred over several years, is the upper end of the range of reasonably possible additional costs. The estimate: is much less certain than the estimates on which our accruals currently are based and uses assumptions that are less favorable to us among the range of reasonably possible outcomes. In estimating our current accruals and the possible range of additional future costs, we: assumed we will not bear the entire cost of remediation of every site, took into account the ability of other potentially responsible parties to participate and considered each party’s financial condition and probable contribution on a per-site basis. We have not recorded any amounts for potential recoveries from insurance carriers. Asset Retirement Obligations We have obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets consisting primarily of reforestation obligations related to forest management licenses in Canada and obligations to close and cap landfills. Some of our sites have asbestos containing materials. We have met our current legal obligation to identify and manage these materials. In situations where we cannot reasonably determine when asbestos containing materials might be removed from the sites, we have not recorded an accrual because the fair value of the obligation cannot be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had an asset retirement obligation of $ 36 million and $ 32 million, respectively. These obligations are recorded in "Accrued liabilities" and "Other liabilities" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet .

OUR LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN Our long-term incentive plan provides for share-based awards that include: restricted stock, restricted stock units (RSUs), performance shares and performance share units (PSUs). We may issue future grant s of up to 21 million s hares under the 2022 Plan. We also have the right to reissue forfeited and expired grants. The Compensation Committee of our board of directors annually establishes an overall pool of stock awards available for grants based on performance. For stock-settled awards, we issue new stock into the marketplace and generally do not repurchase shares in connection with issuance of new awards. Our common shares would increase by approximately 25 million shares if all share-based awards were exercised or vested. These include: all outstanding share-based awards at December 31, 2023 and all remaining RSUs and PSUs that could be granted under the 2022 Plan. HOW WE ACCOUNT FOR SHARE-BASED AWARDS We recognize the cost of share-based awards using a fair-value-based measurement in our Consolidated Statement of Operations over the required service period — generally the period from the date of the grant to the date when it is fully vested. Special situations include: Awards that vest upon retirement — the required service period ends on the date an employee is eligible for retirement, including early retirement. Awards that continue to vest following job elimination or the sale of a business — the required service period ends on the date the employment from the company is terminated. In these special situations, compensation expense from share-based awards is recognized over a period that is shorter than the stated vesting period. Forfeitures are recognized in compensation expense as they occur. TAX BENEFITS OF SHARE-BASED AWARDS Our total income tax benefit from share-based awards recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the last three years was: $ 5 million in 2023, $ 5 million in 2022 and $ 4 million in 2021. Tax benefits from share-based awards are accrued as stock compensation expense and realized when restricted shares, performance shares, RSUs and PSUs vest. TYPES OF SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION Our share-based compensation is in the form of RSUs and PSUs. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS Through the 2022 Plan, we award RSUs — grants that entitle the holder to shares of our stock as the award vests. The Details Our RSUs granted in 2023, 2022 and 2021 generally: vest ratably over four years ; immediately vest in the event of death or disability while employed; continue to vest upon retirement at an age of at least 62, in accordance with the vesting terms of the awards, but a portion of the award is forfeited if retirement occurs before the one-year anniversary of the grant; continue vesting for one year in the event of involuntary termination due to job elimination; immediately vest in the case of a change of control, if the successor company does not assume the award or, if assumed, within two years of the effective date of the change in control the recipient is terminated other than for cause or leaves for good reason (as defined in the award terms and conditions) and will be forfeited upon termination of employment in all other situations including early retirement prior to age 62. Our Accounting The fair value of our RSUs is the market price of our stock on the grant date of the awards. We generally record share-based compensation expense for RSUs over the four-year vesting period. Generally, for RSUs that continue to vest following the termination of employment, we record the share-based compensation expense over a required service period that is less than the stated vesting period. Activity The following table shows our RSU activity for 2023: RESTRICTED WEIGHTED STOCK UNITS GRANT-DATE (IN THOUSANDS) FAIR VALUE Nonvested at December 31, 2022 1,573 $ 34.93 Granted 844 $ 33.81 Vested ( 679 ) $ 32.46 Forfeited ( 37 ) $ 35.67 Nonvested at December 31, 2023 (1) 1,701 $ 35.34 (1) As of December 31, 2023, there were approximately 136 thousand RS Us that had met the requisite service period and will be released as identified in the grant terms. The weighted average grant-date fair value for RSUs was: $ 33.81 in 2023, $ 42.02 in 2022 and $ 33.62 in 2021. The total grant-date fair value of RSUs vested was: $ 22 million in 2023, $ 22 million in 2022 and $ 25 million in 2021. Nonvested RSUs accrue dividends that are paid out when RSUs vest. Any RSUs forfeited will not receive dividends. As RSUs vest, a portion of the shares awarded is withheld to cover employee taxes. As a result, the number of stock units vested and the number of common shares issued will differ. PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS Through the 2022 Plan, we award PSUs — grants that entitle the holder to shares of our stock as the award vests. The Details The final number of shares granted in 2023, 2022 and 2021 will vest between a range of 0 percent to 150 percent of each grant’s target, depending upon actual company total shareholder return (TSR) compared against the TSR of an industry peer group. TSR assumes full reinvestment of dividends. The vesting provisions for PSUs granted in 2023, 2022 and 2021 were generally as follows: awards granted in 2021 vest 100 percent on the third anniversary of the grant date, and awards granted in 2022 and in 2023 vest on March 1st following the end of the performance period, in each case as long as the individual remains employed by the company; in the event of death or disability while employed, awards continue to be earned and settled based on actual company performance; upon retirement at an age of at least 62, awards continue to vest in accordance with the vesting terms of the award, but a portion of the award is forfeited if retirement occurs before the one-year anniversary of the grant; awards continue vesting for one year in the event of involuntary termination due to job elimination and the second anniversary of the grant date has passed; in the case of a change of control during the performance period, awards are deemed earned at target performance and (i) vest as of the change of control date if the successor company does not assume the award or (ii) if assumed, vest upon termination of employment if, within two years of the effective date of the change in control, the recipient is involuntarily terminated other than for cause or leaves for good reason (as defined in the award terms and conditions); awards will be forfeited upon termination of employment in all other situations including early retirement prior to age 62 and awards vest at a maximum of 100 percent of target value in the event of negative absolute company TSR. Our Accounting Since the awards contain a market condition, the effect of the market condition is reflected in the grant-date fair value which is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. This model estimates the TSR ranking of the company over the performance period. Compensation expense is based on the estimated probable number of earned awards and recognized over the vesting period on an accelerated basis. Generally, compensation expense would not be reversed if the market condition is not achieved, provided the requisite service period has been completed. Weighted Average Assumptions Used in Estimating the Value of PSUs 2023 2022 2021 Performance period 2/09/2023 - 12/31/2025 2/10/2022 - 12/31/2024 2/11/2021 - 12/31/2023 Risk-free rate 4.21 % - 4.66 % 0.34 % - 1.84 % 0.02 % - 0.20 % Volatility 29.26 % - 40.19 % 26.27 % - 41.01 % 32.87 % - 52.82 % Weighted average grant-date fair value $ 37.58 $ 49.77 $ 38.50 Activity The following table shows our PSU activity for 2023: PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS WEIGHTED (IN THOUSANDS) FAIR VALUE Nonvested at December 31, 2022 962 $ 39.77 Granted at target 392 $ 37.58 Vested ( 243 ) $ 33.16 Forfeited ( 4 ) $ 39.86 Performance adjustment ( 123 ) $ 33.16 Nonvested at December 31, 2023 (1) 984 $ 41.35 (1) As of December 31, 2023, there were approximately 33 thousand PSUs that had met the requisite service period and will be released as identified in the grant terms. The total grant-date fair value of PSUs vested was: $ 8 million in 2023, $ 12 million in 2022 and $ 8 million in 2021. Nonvested PSUs accrue dividends that are paid out when PSUs vest. Any PSUs forfeited will not receive dividends. As PSUs vest, a portion of the shares awarded is withheld to cover participant taxes. As a result, the number of share units vested and the number of common shares issued will differ. UNRECOGNIZED SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION As of December 31, 2023, our unrecognized share-based compensation cost for all types of share-based awards included $ 53 million related to non-vested equity-classified share-based compensation arrangements. These are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years. DEFERRED COMPENSATION STOCK EQUIVALENT UNITS Certain employees and our board of directors may defer compensation into stock equivalent units. The Details Eligible employees: may choose to defer all or part of their bonus into stock equivalent units; may choose to defer part of their salary, except for executive officers and receive a 15 percent premium if the deferral is for at least five years. Our directors: receive a portion of their annual retainer fee in the form of RSUs, which vest over one year and may be deferred into stock equivalent units; may choose to defer some or all of the remainder of their annual retainer fee into stock equivalent units and do not receive a premium for their deferrals. Employees and directors also choose when the deferrals will be paid out, although no deferrals may be paid until after the separation from service of the employee or director. Our Accounting We settle all deferred compensation accounts in cash for our employees. Our directors receive shares of common stock as payment for stock equivalent units, except that any directors who are subject to federal or provincial taxation in Canada have the choice to receive a cash amount equal to the fair market value of the company’s common stock on the date of payment. In addition, we credit all stock equivalent accounts with dividend equivalents. The number of common shares to be issued in the future to directors is 514 thousand as of December 31, 2023. Stock equivalent units are liability-classified awards and remeasured to fair value at every reporting date. The fair value of a stock equivalent unit is equal to the market price of our stock. Activity The number of stock equivalent units outstanding in our deferred compensation accounts was: 530 thousand as of December 31, 2023, 595 thousand as of December 31, 2022 and 712 thousand as of December 31, 2021. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
LEASES | NOTE 16: LEASES The majority of our operating leases are related to our office and warehouse space, and the majority of our financing leases are related to vehicles and forklifts. Our leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 year to 25 years . Options to renew, extend or terminate a lease are reflected in our lease terms when we believe it is reasonably certain we will exercise that option. When our leases do not provide an implicit or an explicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments.

Our gross state credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2023 totaled $ 54 million , which includes $ 5 million that expire from 2026 through 2036 . Our U.S. TRSs have $ 8 million in foreign tax credit carryforwards that expire from 2027 through 2031 . Valuation Allowances With the exception of the valuation allowance discussed below, we believe it is more likely than not that we will have sufficient future taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets. Our valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets was $ 57 million as of December 31, 2023, which related to state credits, state net operating losses and foreign tax credits. UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS Unrecognized tax benefits represent potential future obligations to taxing authorities if uncertain tax positions we have taken on previously filed tax returns are not sustained. In accordance with our accounting policy, we accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense (see Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ). The total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, as well as the activity during those years, were immaterial. As of December 31, 2023, none of our U .S. federal income tax returns or foreign jurisdiction income tax returns are under examination. Our U.S. federal income tax returns are open to examination for years 2020 forward and foreign jurisdiction income tax returns are open to examination for years 2016 forward. We are undergoing examinations in state jurisdictions for tax years 2018 through 2021, with tax years 2009 forward open to examination. We do not expect that the outcome of any examination will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; however, audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2023 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Real Estate Investment Trust Election (REIT) | OUR ELECTION TO BE TAXED AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (REIT) Our company is a REIT and REIT income can be distributed to shareholders without first paying corporate level tax, substantially eliminating the double taxation on income. We expect to derive most of our REIT income from investments in timberlands, including the sale of standing timber through pay-as-cut sales contracts and lump sum timber deeds. We continue to be required to pay federal corporate income taxes on earnings of our Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (TRSs), which include our Wood Products segment and portions of our Timberlands and Real Estate, Energy and Natural Resources (Real Estate & ENR) segments. |
Consolidated Financial Statements | Consolidated Financial Statements Our consolidated financial statements provide an overall view of our results and financial condition. They include our accounts and the accounts of entities that we control, including: majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. They do not include our intercompany transactions and accounts, which are eliminated. |
Our Business Segments | Our Business Segments Reportable business segments are determined based on the company’s "management approach," as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 280, Segment Reporting . The management approach is based on the way the chief operating decision maker organizes the segments within a company for making decisions about resources to be allocated and assessing their performance. We are principally engaged in: growing and harvesting timber; maximizing the value of our acreage through the sale of higher and better use (HBU) properties and monetizing the value of surface and subsurface assets through leases and royalties and manufacturing, distributing and selling products made from trees. Our business segments are organized based primarily on products and services. SEGMENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Timberlands Logs, timber, recreational leases and other products. Real Estate & ENR Real Estate (sales of timberlands) and ENR (rights to explore for and extract hard minerals, construction materials, natural gas production, wind and solar). Wood Products Structural lumber, oriented strand board, engineered wood products and building materials distribution. We also transfer raw materials, semi-finished materials and end products among our business segments. Because of this intracompany activity, accounting for our business segments involves pricing products transferred between our business segments at current market values. Unallocated items are gains or charges not related to, or allocated to, an individual operating segment. They include all or a portion of items such as share-based compensation, pension and post-employment costs, elimination of intersegment profit in inventory and LIFO, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses, interest income and other. |
Estimates | Estimates We prepare our financial statements according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). This requires us to make estimates and assumptions during our reporting periods and at the date of our financial statements. The estimates and assumptions affect our: reported amounts of assets, liabilities and equity; disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. While we believe the assumptions used in preparing these estimates are appropriate and reasonable, actual results can and do differ from those estimates and assumptions. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements We use a fair value hierarchy in accounting for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities including: long-lived assets (asset groups) measured at fair value for an impairment assessment; pension plan assets measured at fair value and asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in an active market. Level 2: Inputs are quoted prices in non-active markets for which pricing inputs are observable either directly or indirectly at the reporting date. Level 3: Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation We translate foreign currencies into U.S. dollars in two ways: assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates in effect as of our balance sheet date and revenues and expenses — at average monthly exchange rates throughout the year. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications We have reclassified certain balances and results from prior years to be consistent with our 2023 reporting. This makes balances comparable from year to year. Our reclassifications had no effect on consolidated net earnings or equity. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment We maintain property accounts on an individual asset basis and account for them as follows: Improvements to and replacements of major units of property are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are expensed. Depreciation is calculated using a straight-line method at rates based on estimated service lives. Costs associated with logging roads that we intend to utilize for a period longer than one year are capitalized. These roads are then amortized over an estimated service life. Cost and accumulated depreciation of property sold or retired are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss is included in earnings. |
Timber and Timberlands | Timber and Timberlands We carry timber and timberlands at cost less depletion. Depletion refers to the carrying value of timber that is harvested or sold. Key activities affecting how we account for timber and timberlands include: reforestation, depletion and forest management in Canada. Reforestation. Generally, we capitalize initial site preparation and planting costs as reforestation and then expense costs after the first planting as they are incurred or over the period of expected benefit. These expensed costs include: fertilization, vegetation and insect control, pruning and precommercial thinning and property taxes. Accounting practices for these costs do not change when timber becomes merchantable and harvesting starts. Timber Depletion. To determine depletion rates, we divide the net carrying value of timber by the related volume of timber estimated to be available over the growth cycle. To determine the growth cycle volume of timber, we consider: regulatory and environmental constraints, our management strategies, inventory data improvements, growth rate revisions and recalibrations and known dispositions and inoperable acres. In addition, the duration of the harvest cycle varies by geographic region and species of timber. Depletion rate calculations do not include estimates for: future silviculture or sustainable forest management costs associated with existing stands; future reforestation costs associated with a stand's final harvest and future volume in connection with the replanting of a stand subsequent to its final harvest. We include the cost of timber harvested in the carrying values of raw materials and product inventories. As these inventories are sold to third parties, we include them in costs of sales. Forest Management in Canada. We manage timberlands under long-term licenses in various Canadian provinces that are: granted by the provincial governments; granted for initial periods of 15 to 25 years and renewable provided we meet reforestation, operating and management guidelines. Calculation of the fees we pay on the timber we harvest: varies from province to province, is tied to product market pricing and depends upon the allocation of land management responsibilities in the license. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets We review the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever an event or a change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable through future operations. The carrying value is the original cost, less accumulated depreciation and any past impairments recorded. If we evaluate recoverability, we are required to estimate future cash flows and residual values of the asset or asset group. Key assumptions used in developing estimates of future cash flows and residual values could include probability of alternative outcomes, product pricing, raw material cost and product sales. An impairment occurs when the carrying value of a long-lived asset is greater than the amount that could be recovered from the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset and greater than fair market value (the amount we could receive if we were to sell the asset). Impaired assets held for use are written down to fair value, while impaired assets held for sale are written down to fair value less cost to sell. We determine fair value based on: appraisals, market pricing of comparable assets, discounted value of estimated future cash flows from the asset, replacement values of comparable assets and agreed upon sale price or offer price. |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments We estimate the fair value of financial instruments where appropriate. The assumptions we use — including the discount rate and estimates of cash flows — can significantly affect the fair value. These values are estimates and may not match the amounts we would realize upon sale or settlement of our financial positions. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are investments with maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. We state cash equivalents at cost, which approximates market. |
Concentration of Risk | Concentration of Risk We disclose customers that represent a concentration of risk. As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, no customer accounted for 10 percent or more of our net sales. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Refer to Note 3: Revenue Recognition for details on how we account for revenue. PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS A performance obligation, as defined in ASC Topic 606, is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue at the point in time, or over the period, in which the performance obligation is satisfied. Performance obligations associated with delivered log sales are typically satisfied when the logs are delivered to our customers’ mills or delivered to an ocean vessel in the case of export sales. Performance obligations associated with the sale of wood products are typically satisfied when the products are shipped. We have elected, as an accounting policy, to treat shipping and handling that is performed after a customer obtains control of the product as an activity required to fulfill the promise to transfer the good; therefore we will not evaluate this requirement as a separate performance obligation. Customers are generally invoiced shortly after logs are delivered or after wood products are shipped, with payment generally due within a month or less of the invoice date. ASC Topic 606 requires entities to consider significant financing components of contracts with customers, though allows for the use of a practical expedient when the period between satisfaction of a performance obligation and payment receipt is one year or less. Given the nature of our revenue transactions, we have elected to utilize this practical expedient. Performance obligations associated with real estate sales are generally met when placed into escrow and all conditions of closing have been satisfied. CONTRACT ESTIMATES Substantially all of our performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time. Therefore, there is little judgment in determining when control transfers for our business segments as described above. The transaction price for log sales generally equals the amount billed to our customer for logs delivered during the accounting period. For the limited number of log sales subject to a long-term supply agreement, the transaction price is variable but is known at the time of billing. For wood products sales, the transaction price is generally the amount billed to the customer for the products shipped but may be reduced slightly for estimated cash discounts and rebates. There are no significant contract estimates related to the real estate business. CONTRACT BALANCES In general, customers are billed and a receivable is recorded as we ship and/or deliver wood products and logs. We generally receive payment shortly after products have been received by our customers. Contract asset and liability balances are immaterial. For real estate sales, the company receives the entire consideration in cash at closing. |
Inventories | Inventories We state inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes labor, materials and production overhead. LIFO applies to major inventory products held at our U.S. domestic locations. We began to use the LIFO method for domestic products in the 1940s as required to conform with the tax method elected. Subsequent acquisitions of entities added new products under the moving average cost or FIFO — the first-in, first-out — methods and those products continue to be recognized under those methods. The moving average cost or FIFO method applies to the balance of our domestic raw material and product inventories, all material and supply inventories and all foreign inventories. |
Shipping and Handling Costs | Shipping and Handling Costs We classify shipping and handling costs in "Costs of sales" in our Consolidated Statement of Operations . |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Unrecognized tax benefits represent potential future funding obligations to taxing authorities if uncertain tax positions we have taken on previously filed tax returns are not sustained. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as a component of income tax expense. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities to reflect: future tax consequences due to differences between the carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes and the tax bases of certain items and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. To measure deferred tax assets and liabilities, we: determine when the differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of affected items are expected to be recovered or resolved and use enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in those years. |
Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans | Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans We recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of our defined benefit pension and other post-employment benefit plans on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and recognize changes in the funded status through comprehensive income (loss) in the year in which the changes occur. Actuarial valuations determine the amount of the pension and other post-employment benefit obligations and the net periodic benefit cost we recognize. The net periodic benefit cost includes: cost of benefits provided in exchange for employees’ services rendered during the year; interest cost of the obligations; expected long-term return on plan assets; gains or losses on plan settlements and curtailments; amortization of prior service costs and plan amendments over the average remaining service period of the active employee group covered by the plans or the average remaining life expectancy in situations where the participants affected by the plan amendment are inactive and amortization of cumulative unrecognized net actuarial gains and losses — generally in excess of 10 percent of the greater of the benefit obligation or the combination of market-related and fair value of plan assets at the beginning of the year — over the average remaining service period of the active employee group covered by the plans or the average remaining life expectancy in situations where the plan participants are inactive. Pension plans. We have defined benefit pension plans covering approximately 40 percent of our employees. Determination of benefits differs for salaried, hourly and union employees as follows: Salaried employee benefits are based on each employee’s highest monthly earnings for five consecutive years during the final 10 years before retirement. Hourly and union employee benefits generally are stated amounts for each year of service. Union employee benefits are set through collective-bargaining agreements. We contribute to our U.S. and Canadian pension plans according to established funding standards. The funding standards for the plans are: U.S. pension plans — according to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and Canadian pension plans — according to the applicable provincial pension act and the Income Tax Act. Post-employment benefits other than pensions. We provide certain post-employment healthcare and life insurance benefits for some retired employees. In some cases, we pay a portion of the cost of the benefit. Note 8: Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans provides additional information about our post-employment benefit plans. Estimates for pension and other post-employment benefit plans. Estimates we use in accounting for our pension and other post-employment benefit plans include the: fair value of our plan assets; expected long-term rate of return on plan assets and discount rates. At the end of every year, we review our estimates with external advisers and make adjustments as appropriate. We use these estimates to calculate plan asset and liability information as of year-end as well as pension and post-employment expense for the following year. Actual experience that differs from our estimates and subsequent changes in our estimates could have a significant effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Fair value of plan assets. Plan assets are assets of the pension plan trusts that fund the benefits provided under the pension plans. The fair value of our plan assets estimates the amount that would be received if we were to sell each asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. We estimate the fair value of these assets based on the information available during the year-end reporting process. Refer to Note 8: Pension and Other Post-Employment Benefit Plans for information about the assets held within our pension plans and their related valuation methods. Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Our expected long-term rate of return is our estimate of the return that our plan assets will earn over time. This rate is used in determining the net periodic benefit or cost we recognize for our plans. Factors we consider in determining our expected long-term rate of return include: historical returns for a portfolio of assets similar to our expected allocation and expected future performance of similar asset classes. The actual return on plan assets in any given year may vary from our expected long-term rate of return. Actual returns on plan assets affect the funded status of the plans. Differences between actual returns on plan assets and the expected long-term rate of return are reflected as adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of total equity. Discount rates. Discount rates are used to estimate the net present value of our plan obligations. The discount rates are determined at the measurement date by matching current spot rates of high-quality corporate bonds with maturities similar to the timing of expected cash outflows for benefits. |
Contingent Liabilities | Contingent Liabilities We are subject to lawsuits, investigations and other claims related to environmental remediation, product and other matters, and are required to assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as the amount or range of potential loss. We record contingent liabilities when: it becomes probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Assessing probability of loss and estimating the amount of loss can require analysis of multiple factors, such as: historical experience, evaluations of relevant legal and environmental authorities and regulations, judgments about the potential actions of third-party claimants and courts and consideration of potential environmental remediation methods. In addition to contingent liabilities recorded for probable losses, we disclose contingent liabilities when there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Recorded contingent liabilities are based on the best information available and actual losses in any future period are inherently uncertain. Future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are not discounted to their present value. If estimated probable future losses or actual losses exceed our recorded liability for such claims, we record additional charges. These exposures and proceedings can be significant and the ultimate outcomes could be material to our operating results or cash flows in any given period. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties are recorded as assets when the recovery is deemed probable and does not exceed the amount of losses previously recorded. See Note 13: Legal Proceedings, Commitments and Contingencies for more information. |
Earnings Per Share | Basic earnings per share is net earnings available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of our outstanding common shares, including stock equivalent units where there is no circumstance under which those shares would not be issued. Diluted earnings per share is net earnings available to common shareholders divided by the sum of the: weighted average number of our outstanding common shares and the effect of our outstanding dilutive potential common shares. Dilutive potential common shares may include: outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units. We use the treasury stock method to calculate the dilutive effect of our outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units. Share-based payment awards that are contingently issuable upon the achievement of specified performance or market conditions are included in our diluted earnings per share calculation in the period in which the conditions are satisfied. |
Stock Repurchase Programs Policy | We record share repurchases upon trade date as opposed to the settlement date when cash is disbursed. We record a liability for repurchases that have not yet been settled as of period end. |
Share-based Compensation | HOW WE ACCOUNT FOR SHARE-BASED AWARDS We recognize the cost of share-based awards using a fair-value-based measurement in our Consolidated Statement of Operations over the required service period — generally the period from the date of the grant to the date when it is fully vested. Special situations include: Awards that vest upon retirement — the required service period ends on the date an employee is eligible for retirement, including early retirement. Awards that continue to vest following job elimination or the sale of a business — the required service period ends on the date the employment from the company is terminated. In these special situations, compensation expense from share-based awards is recognized over a period that is shorter than the stated vesting period. Forfeitures are recognized in compensation expense as they occur. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Segment Reporting In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07,"Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of the new guidance will not impact our Consolidated Statement of Operations , Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows . We plan to incorporate these expanded disclosures beginning in fourth quarter 2024. Income Taxes In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”, which expands annual income tax disclosures to disaggregate rate reconciliations and income taxes paid by nature and jurisdiction. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, however, retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of the new guidance will not impact our Consolidated Statement of Operations , Consolidated Balance Sheet or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows . We plan to incorporate these expanded disclosures beginning in fourth quarter 2025. |

(2) Includes adjustments for final fair value of plan assets. (3) Assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet are different from the cumulative income or expense that we have recorded associated with the plans. The differences are actuarial gains and losses and prior service costs and credits that are deferred and amortized into periodic benefit costs in future periods. Unamortized amounts are recorded in "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss", which is a component of total equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheet . The "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss" section of Note 14: Shareholders' Interest details changes in these amounts by component. (4) For pension plans with a projected benefit obligation exceeding plan assets, the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets were $ 2.1 billion and $ 1.7 billion at December 31, 2023, respectively, and $ 2.1 billion and $ 1.8 billion at December 31, 2022, respectively. For pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation exceeding plan assets, the accumulated benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets were $ 2.1 billion and $ 1.7 billion at December 31, 2023, respectively, and $ 2.0 billion and $ 1.8 billion at December 31, 2022, respectively. (5) For the U.S. defined benefit plans, the discount rate assumption was 5.2 % and 5.4 % for 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the Canadian defined benefit plans, the discount rate assumption was 4.7 % and 5.3 % for 2023 and 2022, respectively. For U.S. OPEB plans, the discount rate assumption was 5.1 % and 5.4 % for 2023 and 2022, respectively. For Canadian OPEB plans, the discount rate assumption was 4.6 % and 5.3 % for 2023 and 2022, respectively. For lump sum distributions (for U.S. qualified salaried and nonqualified plans only), the interest and mortality assumptions are the same as those mandated by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 for benefits commencing in the current year. (6) For the U.S. defined benefit plans, the rate of compensation increase assumption for both 2023 and 2022 was between 2.00 % - 13.00 % for salaried participants and was decreasing with participant age. For the Canadian defined benefit plans, the rate of compensation increase assumption was 1.00 % - 2.75 % and 2.00 % - 2.75 % for salaried and hourly participants, respectively, for both 2023 and 2022. (7) U.S. qualified salaried and nonqualified plans only. (8) For U.S. OPEB plans, the healthcare cost trend rate assumption for the next year for Pre-Medicare was 7.25 % and 5.70 % for 2023 and 2022, respectively. The ultimate healthcare cost trend rate was 4.50 % for both 2023 and 2022 and the assumption for the year the ultimate healthcare cost trend rate is reached was 2035 and 2037 in 2023 and 2022, respectively. For Canadian OPEB plans, the healthcare cost trend rate was 5.13 % for 2023 and 5.20 % for 2022. The ultimate healthcare cost trend rate was 4.00 % and the assumption for the year the ultimate healthcare cost trend rate is reached was 2040 for both 2023 and 2022. |

For the Canadian defined benefit plans, the discount rate assumption was 5.30 %, 3.10 % and 2.50 % for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For U.S. OPEB plans, the discount rate assumption was 5.40 %, 2.60 % and 2.10 %, for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For Canadian OPEB plans, the discount rate assumption was 5.30 %, 3.00 % and 2.40 % for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For lump sum distributions (for U.S. qualified salaried and nonqualified plans only), the interest and mortality assumptions are the same as those mandated by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 for benefits commencing in the current year. (2) Determining our expected return requires a high degree of judgment. We consider actual pension fund asset performance over multiple years, and current and expected valuation levels in the global equity and credit markets. Historical fund returns are used as a base and we place added weight on more recent pension plan asset performance. (3) For the U.S. defined benefit plans, the rate of compensation increase assumption for 2023, 2022 and 2021 was between 2.00 % - 13.00 % for salaried participants and was decreasing with participant age. For the Canadian defined benefit plans, the rate of compensation increase assumption for salaried participants was 1.00 % - 2.75 % for 2023 and 3.25 % for 2022 and 2021. The rate of compensation increase assumption for hourly participants was 2.00 % - 2.75 % for 2023 and 3.00 % for 2022 and 2021. (4) U.S. qualified salaried and nonqualified plans only. (5) For OPEB plans during 2023, the assumed weighted healthcare cost trend rate was 5.70 %, 4.50 % and 5.20 % for U.S. Pre-Medicare participants, U.S. HRA participants and Canadian OPEB plans, respectively. |

Schedules of Allocation of Our Plans' Assets | Assets within our U.S. and Canadian pension trusts were invested as follows: DECEMBER 31, DECEMBER 31, Cash and short-term investments (1) 4.1 % 3.6 % Public equity investments (2) 0.9 0.9 Fixed income investments: (3) Corporate 45.6 42.7 Government 16.9 15.5 Repurchase agreements ( 1.3 ) ( 0.6 ) Hedge funds and related investments (4)(5) 3.4 4.2 Private equity and related investments (5)(6) 30.5 34.5 Derivative instruments, net (7) 0.1 — Accrued liabilities ( 0.2 ) ( 0.8 ) Total 100.0 % 100.0 % (1) Cash and short-term investments are valued at cost, which approximates market. (2) Public equity investments are valued at exit prices quoted in active markets. (3) Fixed income investments include publicly traded corporate and government issued debt. These bonds have varying maturities, credit quality and sector exposure and are selected to align with the duration of our plan liabilities. Additionally, our fixed income portfolio includes repurchase agreements, which represent short-term borrowings to hedge against interest rate risk. We have an obligation to return the cash related to these borrowings in accordance with the agreements, which are collateralized by our government bonds. Fixed income investments are valued at exit prices quoted in active or non-active markets or based on observable inputs. (4) Hedge funds and related investments are privately-offered managed pools primarily structured as limited liability entities. General members or partners of these limited liability entities serve as portfolio managers and are thus responsible for the fund’s underlying investment decisions. Underlying investments within these funds may include long and short public and private equities, corporate, mortgage and sovereign debt, options, swaps, forwards and other derivative positions. These funds have varying degrees of leverage, liquidity and redemption provisions. (5) These investments are primarily valued based on the NAVs of the funds. These values represent the per-unit price at which new investors are permitted to invest and existing investors are permitted to exit. When NAVs as of the end of the year have not been received, we estimate fair value by adjusting the most recently reported NAVs for market events and cash flows between the interim date and the end of the year. (6) Private equity and related investments include both investments in private equity and investments in mezzanine distressed, co-investments and other structures. Private equity funds generally participate in buyout and venture capital strategies through unlisted equity and debt instruments. These funds may also borrow at the underlying entity level. Mezzanine and distressed funds generally invest in the debt of public or private companies with additional participation through warrants or other equity options. (7) Derivative instruments have historically been comprised of swaps, futures, forwards or options. At December 31, 2023, only a small amount of risk-mitigating futures remain in the portfolio. Derivative instruments are valued based upon valuation statement s received from each derivative’s counterparty. |
