Backs Responsible Procurement With Sustainable Forestry Initiative\u00ae Fiber Sourcing Certification"},"content":{"rendered":"

Hulett, WY<\/strong> \u2013 As part of a broad commitment to the corporate social responsibility, Neiman\u00a0Enterprises, Inc., a ponderosa pine lumber and wood pellet producer, announced today that it\u00a0has achieved fiber sourcing certification to the Sustainable Forestry Initiative\u00ae (SFI Inc.) at its\u00a0three sawmill facilities and pellet plant, Neiman Sawmills, Inc. dba Devils Tower Forest\u00a0Products, Spearfish Forest Products, Rushmore Forest Products, and Spearfish Pellet Company\u00a0LLC.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Neiman Enterprises, Inc., we have a strong commitment to provide the finest products and\u00a0services by meeting the needs and exceeding the expectations of our employees, our\u00a0communities and our customers,\u201d said Jim D. Neiman, Vice President and CEO. \u201cSFI\u00ae fiber\u00a0sourcing certification strengthens our environmental and social responsibilities; while meeting\u00a0the increased demand for responsibly produced forest products.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through its fiber sourcing certification, the independent, non-profit SFI program stands apart\u00a0from other certification programs by addressing the fact that 90 percent of the world\u2019s forests\u00a0are not certified. The fiber sourcing requirements require companies procuring fiber to\u00a0promote responsible forestry on all lands they buy wood from, certified or not. The fiber\u00a0sourcing requirements include outreach and education to landowners on important issues such\u00a0as endangered species, reforestation, protecting water quality, and it also requires the use of\u00a0trained loggers for harvests.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt a time when just 10 percent of the world\u2019s forests are independently certified, Neiman\u00a0Enterprises Inc. joins a growing community of companies, landowners, and social and\u00a0environmental organizations who have demonstrated their environmental commitment and\u00a0leadership by achieving SFI certification,\u201d said SFI Inc. President and CEO Kathy Abusow.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
