Sustainable Forestry Product Labeling
We support labeling our products to help educate customers that their purchases come from responsibly managed sources. Nearly all our forest products are certified to sustainable forestry standards. At the end of 2008 we had certified more than 99 percent of our product lines. As forest products markets recover, our goal is to use labels on all qualifying products.
