Opposing Illegal Logging

Weyerhaeuser will not knowingly purchase or use wood, wood fiber or products for distribution that originate from illegal logging. Weyerhaeuser also will exercise all reasonable due diligence to ensure that its wood, wood fiber, and products for distribution either originate in countries with effective laws against illegal logging, or are independently certified or verified under other credible and transparent safeguards. These safeguards may include environmental management systems aligned with the ISO 14001 standard if the risk of illegal logging is identified and addressed as a significant aspect.

Illegal logging is defined as harvesting activities that result in theft of timber or logs, or cutting in parks, reserves or other similar areas where harvesting activities are otherwise precluded by law.
