Tropical Forests

Across all of our operations, Weyerhaeuser will not harvest or buy wood, wood fiber or products for distribution from natural forests in biodiversity hotspots or major tropical wilderness areas. The only exceptions are sources independently certified or verified as having come from well-managed forests. Biodiversity hotspots and major tropical wilderness areas are outside North America, defined and mapped by Conservation International as of July 1, 2002.

We distribute products from native tropical forests only if the suppliers are, or are on a schedule to be, independently verified as selling or harvesting products legally and in compliance with our procurement standards.
