Forest Certifications

Sustainable Forestry

We demonstrate our commitment to sustainable forestry by maintaining certification through prominent forest certification programs, which require rigorous auditing to ensure our compliance to their standards. Boise Cascade® is actively engaged in all three of the most prominent forest certification programs in North America.

SFI®

All of our primary production facilities are certified to Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) standards for both “Fiber Sourcing” and “Chain-of-Custody” ensuring National Association of State Foresters (NASF) Best Management Practices (BMPs).

We use trained logging professionals in all types of harvest purchases, including those associated with small, non-industrial landowners who often do not have the support of trained professional foresters.

At each of our primary and secondary manufacturing facilities adhering to the SFI Chain-of-Custody Standard provides for control of fiber inputs, verification of non-controversial sources, and a variety of product claims and label options regarding certified sourcing that we can offer to our customers.

FSC®

The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is a global, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of responsible forest management worldwide. FSC defines standards based on agreed principles for responsible forest stewardship that are supported by environmental, social, and economic stakeholders. To learn more, visit www.fsc.org.

PEFC

All of Boise Cascade’s manufacturing facilities are certified to the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) Chain-of-Custody standard, which has its own distinct set of procurement, tracking, and risk assessment steps. This is a global certification standard that is important to our customers who export their products to countries outside of North America.
