The Sustainable Forestry Initiative

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) is a program focused on promoting responsible forestry practices in North America. It aims to ensure that forests are managed sustainably, balancing environmental health, social responsibility, and economic viability. SFI sets standards for forest management and chain-of-custody certification, which means tracking wood products from the forest to the final product. By doing so, it helps protect biodiversity, supports local communities, and ensures that forests can continue to provide resources for future generations while reducing the environmental impact of forestry operations.
