About the Sustainable Forestry Initiative.

The SFI Program is a comprehensive system of principles, objectives and performance measures developed by foresters, conservationists and scientists that when put into practice, ensures forests are being managed in a sustainable manner. The standard is based on a set of core principles that address economic, environmental, cultural and legal factors, as well as a commitment to continual improvement.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), the most widely used green building rating system in the world, recognizes wood and paper made from SFI managed forests as an integral approach to environmental responsibility.

The Central Canada SFI Implementation Committee (CCSIC) promotes and fosters understanding of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative and encourages the implementation of sustainable forestry practices to wood suppliers, landowners and the public.

The purpose of this website is to provide an overview of the key components of the SFI Program and to provide links to additional sources of information.
