Thank you for joining us at the 2025 SFI Annual Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, from May 20-23 as we explored the theme Innovating for Forests & Communities! This year, we celebrated SFI’s 30th anniversary and three decades of shared achievements in sustainable forestry.

Sustainability requires leadership and innovative solutions to local, national, and global environmental challenges—solutions rooted in diverse perspectives and collaborative efforts. SFI is a recognized leader in advancing sustainability through forest-focused collaboration. We actively engage with a diverse network of SFI-certified organizations, community and conservation leaders, Indigenous representatives, government officials, researchers, educators, and more to explore solutions to sustainability challenges.

We all had the opportunity to connect with sustainability leaders and discuss sustainable forest management, supply chain transparency, biodiversity conservation, and more at the 2025 SFI Annual Conference!

Explore highlights from the 2025 SFI Annual Conference.
