EACOM Timber received SFI certification

EACOM Timber Corporation announces that its Quebec operations have been certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative’s ® (SFI) for both the SFI 2015-2019 Forest Management Standard and the SFI 2015-2019 Fiber Sourcing Standard.

This new certification applies specifically to the 8351, 8663, and 8664 management units where EACOM’s Val-d’Or and Matagami sawmills source their fiber. Those same territories have had Forest Stewardship Council ® (FSC) certification in place since 2008.

SFI is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable management of North American forests and responsible global procurement practices based on 13 principles including maintaining forest productivity and health, protecting water quality, biological diversity and special sites as well as training and education, supporting research and broadening the practice of sustainable forestry.

In Ontario, EACOM’s directly managed forests – the Spanish and the Pineland, are certified to the SFI Forest Management Standard. EACOM’s Ontario sawmills are also certified to SFI’s Fibre Sourcing and Chain of Custody Standards.

EACOM Timber Corporation is a major Eastern Canadian wood products company. Operations include the manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of lumber and wood-based value-added products, and the management of forest resources.
