Canfor's Commitment
Canfor's commitment to forest policy is rooted in twenty-first
century realities. Public concern for how we manage
forest lands under our stewardship is never absent from
our thoughts.
Canfor's forestry operations in British Columbia and
Alberta are located almost exclusively on public land
thus public acceptance of our forestry practices is
imperative for us to remain in business. So too is recognition
by the consumers of our products that Canfor's forest
stewardship meets their expectations.
Where once we managed our forest lands to ensure a
sustained yield of timber, today we acknowledge the
need to incorporate non-timber values into our management
regime.
Canfor is committed to:
- A process of continually
improved forest management.
- Using the best available
science.
- Improving our knowledge of
ecological processes responsible for our natural forests
and incorporating this knowledge into our daily operations.
- Setting measurable ecological
targets to help assess our performance.
- Submitting to independent audits to verify our
progress.
