As the mass timber building movement gains momentum, designers and builders need assurance that the wood products on the market are of high standards on a number of fronts.
The Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI), the largest single forest certification standard in the world, is one of three certification agencies to provide that assurance.
Annie Perkins, a senior director for the green building and supply chain of SFI, said part of the organization’s job is to give architects and others in the building/design community confidence that the wood certified by SFI has gone through “a proper chain of custody and comes from well-managed forests.”
