SFI Widget Launched!
When we started this blog in October of last year, our hope was to develop a platform to hold discussions on important topics.
A Second Chance to Participate in the SFI Standard Development Process
I want as many people as possible to participate in the process that will lead to the SFI 2010-2014 Standard.
Of Hope and Fear
Last week I was at the 4th Annual Environmental Printing Awards in Toronto, Canada - hosted by the well-respected magazine Print Action.
InfoTrends
I recently had the opportunity to work with well-known research and consulting firm Info Trends on a webinar about sustainability and it is now available on their web site.
Despite tough times, forest sector remains committed to sustainable forest management
I’ve been involved in the forest sector for 20 years and I can honestly say I don’t remember a time when the sector faced as many challenges as it does today.
The Other 90%
You’ve probably heard me talk lots about the fact that only 10% of the world’s forests are certified. Today I want to talk about the other 90% -- that’s not certified.
A Monopolist in the Trees?
I never associated “monopoly” with sustainable forestry standards. At least not until today when I read Craig Webb’s story in ProSales, “FSC Hikes a Fee, Goes After Competitors.”
SFI in the News
Two major packaging magazines just featured SFI. Food and Beverage Packaging ran a story on our new labels, which were launched earlier this year.
SFI at the USGBC GreenBuild Expo
This is the 5th year SFI has participated in the USGBC’s Green Build Expo, and over the years the SFI team has spent countless hours in the exhibit hall talking with architects, developers, and policy makers, among others, about sustainability, about the important role of forest certification, and about the evolution of green building.
Certification and Public Lands
I’ve been thinking about the value of certification for all lands, as we finalize SFI’s submission to the U.S. Forest Service.
