The Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) program offers this certification search tool so customers and stakeholders can learn more about SFI® certified forests and identify suppliers who can offer quality certified forest products from the SFI program.

The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) program is based on the premise that responsible environmental behavior and sound business decisions can co-exist to the benefit of landowners, manufacturers, shareholders, customers, the people they serve, the environment, and future generations. The SFI program integrates the perpetual growing and harvesting of trees with the protection of wildlife, plants, soil, water, and air quality.

The SFI Standard (SFIS) is the document that spells out the strict and comprehensive SFI program compliance requirements. Two goals of the SFI program are first, SFI program participants practice sustainable forestry on all the lands they manage and second, they influence millions of additional acres through the training of loggers and foresters in best management practices. This unique commitment to sustainable forestry recognizes that all forest landowners, not just SFI program participants, play a critical role in ensuring the long-term health and sustainability of our forests.

In order to be certified, an SFI program participant must undergo a thorough and rigorous review of its operations by an audit firm that has been accredited by either the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or the Standards Council of Canada.
