SFI Standards Analysis
Description:
The timber industry’s trade association, the American Forest and Paper Association (AF&PA), created a certification scheme, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). The SFI released its new certification standards at the beginning of 2005.
While the revised SFI standards and procedures include some small improvements many of these changes fail to require concrete on-the-ground outcomes. Ultimately, it will take far more fundamental changes for the SFI to be credible and effective as a certification system for environmentally, socially, and economically well-
managed forests.
This fact sheet provides a brief analysis of the new SFI standards.
