SFI Program Participants are the foundation of the SFI program's success. These entities make a commitment to the SFI Standards and have been third-party certified by independent auditors to be in conformance with the SFI Standards. SFI Program Participants adhere to sustainable forest management and fiber sourcing practices that encompass a variety of responsibilities including maintaining forest productivity and health and protecting water quality, biological diversity and special sites. This commitment also involves providing employee, contractor and harvesting professionals with training and education, supporting research, and broadening the practice of sustainable forestry through landowner outreach and community involvement. They support sustainable forestry practics on forestland they manage and promote it on other lands as well.
Most SFI Program Participants owning or operating primary forest product facilities, owning or managing forestland, or procuring fiber within the state are also committed to supporting and participating on the Pennsylvania SFI Implementation Committee.
