LP Building Solutions (LP) announced that it is the first company in Chile to be certified to the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification's (PEFC) new Chain of Custody Standard (ST 2002:2020).
PEFC is the largest forest certification system in the world, with more than 330 million hectares of certified forests. An international nonprofit, nongovernmental organization, PEFC is dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management through independent third-party certification.
"LP South America has long prioritized the preservation and enhancement of our planet," said LP South America General Manager Frederick Price. "As a leading manufacturer of oriented strand board and composite wood siding in South America, we believe LP must also be a sustainability leader. Our sustainability initiatives take many forms, but sustainable forestry is paramount in our strategy. To be Chile's first company certified to PEFC's new Chain of Custody Standard is an honor and a reflection of our long-standing commitment to sustainability."
As a leader in high-performance building solutions, Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP Building Solutions) manufactures engineered wood building products.
