INDIGENOUS RELATIONS

Every day, we strive to co-create meaningful change alongside the dozens of Indigenous communities and businesses that have certified their forestlands to the SFI Small-Scale Forest Management Module for Indigenous Peoples and Families, and more than one hundred that we partner with and invest in through programs and initiatives reaching across all four pillars of SFI’s work.

EDUCATION & TRAINING

SFI is proud to be the first National Partner of the Outland Youth Employment Program. We are committed to enhancing the number, relevancy and accessibility of education, training and job opportunities for Indigenous youth within the forest sector.

SFI also recognizes the need for ongoing education and training on Indigenous Peoples’ rights and respectful relationship building within the corporate sector. Working with leading partners, we are committed to promoting understanding, recognition and respect for Indigenous Peoples’ rights, traditional knowledge, representative institutions and distinctive relationships with the forest throughout the forest sector.
