We are all concerned about the environment. Everything we do impacts the air, water and land around us. We want future generations to have access to natural resources and enjoy all nature has to offer. These concerns and desires are shared by the people who work in industries active in the forest.
From the effects of harvesting on forests, to air emissions from mills, to effluent discharge in rivers, the people who work in the forest products industry are paying close attention to the impacts their work has on the environment.
Government sets regulations to protect the environment, industry meets those regulations and works diligently to exceed them wherever possible, and third-party independent certifiers inspect the systems, processes and outcomes of industry. This is the safety system in place to provide assurance to you that your forest is being managed responsibly.
