What is Forest
Product Certification?
- Evaluation of forest
practices by an independent, third-party.
- Protects environmental
values - biodiversity, soil and water
quality.
- Can include a label and
a chain of custody.
|
Evaluation - Forest companies
operating in BC must meet or exceed the high forest management
standards demanded by government. In addition, they also
have a high level of third-party certification, which
gives customers added assurance that they are practising
responsible and sustainable forest management.
Environment - The forests are
assessed according to rigorous, measurable and scientific
criteria that include ensuring protection of biodiversity
and preserving soil and water quality.
Label and Chain of Custody -
Forest products can include a label indicating they have
been approved as environmentally-friendly and a chain-of-custody
system, which tracks a wood product from a tree in the
forest through all the steps of processing and production
until it reaches the consumer.
