SFI 2022 STANDARDS AND RULES REVISION PROCESS<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
SFI\u2019s mission is to advance sustainability through forest-focused collaborations. As part of the collaborative process, SFI invites everyone to participate in the SFI Standard\u00a0Development and Revision process.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The SFI standards revision process ensures credibility and transparency allowing everyone to participate. Broad involvement from the conservation community, the forest products industry, brand owners, private forest landowners and public forest managers, government agencies, trade associations, landowner associations, academia, and\u00a0others is integral to the development of the next SFI standards. The online public comment period is part of this process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The SFI standards revision process follows international standard development guides and is based on principles of stakeholder engagement, balanced representation, consensus, continual improvement and transparency. The SFI standards revision process is an opportunity to update the SFI Standards and Rules with the topics that matter globally using SFI-certified organizations as a driving force to address these important issues through responsible, science-based forest management.<\/p>\n<\/div>
