Sustainable Forestry Initiative Standard (SFIS 2005-2009)
The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) program is a comprehensive system of principles, objectives
and performance measures developed by professional foresters, conservationists and scientists,
among others that combines the perpetual growing and harvesting of trees with the long-term protection
of wildlife, plants, soil and water quality. The SFI Standard spells out the requirements of compliance
with the program. The SFIS is based on nine principles that address economic, environmental, cultural
and legal issues, in addition to a commitment to continuously improve sustainable forest management.
The Sustainable Forestry Board solely governs the content of the SFI Standard and Auditing Procedures
and Qualifications.
