Setting the Standard
Sustainable Forest Management Certification
Teal has voluntarily committed to conduct operations consistent with the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) – PEFC CAN ST 1001:2025 Sustainable Forest Management Standard. The Standard provides for independent third-party verification that forestry organizations conduct forest planning and practices sustainably, assuring that the high threshold set by the standards has been met.
Teal-Jones’ Sustainable Forest Management Plan outlines commitments to meeting ecological, social, cultural and economic criteria and indicators. The Sustainable Forest Management Plan is maintained through active public involvement by a range of local people. As part of the certification requirements, Teal-Jones regularly undergoes independent, third-party audits to ensure compliance with the standard.
