Environmental Certification

With the exception of recently acquired Bathurst and Belledune Sawmills and Sault Ste. Marie Wood Mill, each of our lumber manufacturing and remanufacturing operations is certified to one or more internationally recognized chain-of-custody or fiber sourcing standards. CoC certification tracks logs from harvest through the manufacturing process.

Our mills have been independently audited and have been found to meet CoC certification requirements for:

• Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC/26-31-159) – Interfor’s PEFC CoC Certification; Interfor’s PEFC Chain of Custody Policy
• Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) Standard – Interfor’s SFI® CoC Certification (BC, US South, Ontario & Quebec, US North West)
• FSC® Chain of Custody Standard and Controlled Wood Standard (FSC-C022781) (Ontario & Quebec)

We have also put in place a Sustainable Forestry & Log Procurement Policy to avoid sourcing wood or wood fiber that does not meet our sustainable forest management standards.
