CONFERENCE / IN THE NEWS / PRESENTATIONS / AWARDS
The immense value of diverse partnerships at every link of the supply chain was on display at the 15th annual SFI conference – SFI Program: Power of Partnerships – which was attended by more than 200 people representing small and large landowners, government, professional foresters, conservation groups, academia, aboriginal communities, auditors, buyers, forest products companies and biologists.
Topics included collaboration to meet market demands; partnerships to tackle global issues, strengthen local communities and achieve conservation goals; and emerging issues such as carbon offset markets. Delegates learned about the new SFI Conservation and Community Partnerships Grant program, developments in the green building market, and trends in the international arena.
SFI Inc. wishes to thank the delegates, speakers, sponsors and everyone else who made the 2010 annual conference a great success.
