    Business Challenge
    In today’s fast-paced global economy, generating high product volumes quickly puts natural resources like timber at risk. The growing awareness for sustainable development of the earth’s resources is driving a majority of forestry stakeholders worldwide to require guarantees that harvested trees, paper and wood products come from sustainable and properly managed sources. Responsibility for forestry’s future lies in the hands of many. Even the smallest decisions and actions by timber production unit managers, material processors, manufacturers, and consumers effect how forests are managed, which resources will be sold, and ultimately which are bought. It is vital to ensure our forests will still be here and thriving for future generations.
