From Millar Western’s website
Millar Western’s Whitecourt woodlands operations have achieved certification under the Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI) 2005-2009 Standard for sustainable forest management (SFM), following a third-party audit in November. Millar Western was previously certified under the CSA-Z809 SFM standard but made the shift to SFI because it recognizes volume- as well as land-based tenures. “SFI holds us accountable to the highest sustainable forest management standards while enabling us to certify fibre drawn from both tenure systems under which we harvest timber,” said Steve Lord, Millar Western’s Director of Pulp Sales and Marketing. “This allows us to increase the percentage of certified fibre in our pulp and lumber products and better meet the needs of our customers.”
