The Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI)SM program is an exacting standard of environmental principles, objectives, and performance measures that integrates the perpetual growing and harvesting of trees with the protection of wildlife, plants, soil and water quality and a wide range of other conservation goals.
SFISM is an initiative by participating forest products companies to practice a land stewardship ethic that integrates the managing, growing, nurturing, and harvesting of trees for useful products with the conservation of soil, air, and water quality, wildlife, and fish habitat and aesthetics (American Forest and Paper Association 1995).
