SFI Certification
Sustainable Forestry Initiative Chain of Custody
North America's largest single forest certification standard. SFI Chain of Custody certification verifies responsible sourcing of wood fiber through the supply chain.
SFI and the Pallet Industry
SFI certification is particularly strong in North America and is recognized by most major retailers and consumer goods companies. For pallet manufacturers sourcing lumber from US and Canadian forests, SFI certification aligns well with domestic supply chains and provides credible sustainability credentials that customers increasingly demand.
