Sustainability Report 2018
Responsible manufacturing begins with responsible sourcing. In the US, a strong legal framework has instilled responsible forestry practices for generations. The Clean Water Act first established the requirement for best management practices (BMPs) in the 1970s. BMP’s are adopted at the state level and are evaluated and revised over time by each state. Third-party forest certification standards have led to additional improvements and provide a scalable assurance mechanism for stakeholders.
For more information on third-party forestry certification programs, please visit:
- Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), fsc.org
- Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), pefc.org
- Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), sfiprogram.org
