Forestry Management Systems – Sustainable Forestry Initiative

We are the only internationally recognized accreditation body in Canada offering Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI)  accreditation. As a pre-requisite, certification bodies must also be accredited to the following international standards: ISO/IEC 17021-1 for providing management systems audit and certification, and ISO 17021-2 for providing environmental management systems audit and certification.

Organizations implementing the SFI Forest Management Standard, Fiber Sourcing Standard, Urban and Community Forest Sustainability Standard, Small Land Group Certification Module and Small Scale Forest Management Module for Indigenous Peoples and Families often turn to SCC-accredited certification bodies for third-party oversight. Reasons include procurement eligibility requirements, regulatory compliance and competitive differentiation.

Environmentally conscious consumers increasingly demand that their wood-based products come from sustainably farmed forests and that they are manufactured in an environmentally sound way. Certification to forestry management standards shows corporate social responsibility—a testament that the producer operates in a sustainable way that ensures a renewable supply of raw materials.
