Pictorial Offset Is First Printer to Achieve SFI Certification

The SFI program is a comprehensive system of principles, objectives and performance measures developed by professional foresters, conservationists and scientists, among others, that combines the perpetual growing and harvesting of trees with the long-term protection of wildlife, plants, soil and water quality. There are currently over 150 million acres of forestland in North America enrolled in the SFI program, making it among the world’s largest sustainable forestry programs. To ensure forests are protected, the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) developed the SFI program to document the commitment of their members and the program’s licensees keep our forests healthy and practice the highest level of sustainable forestry. Since 1994, AF&PA has asked 17 members to leave the association for failing to meet the SFI Standard.
