Forests
All our timberland operations have environmental management systems that are aligned with the ISO 14001 standard.
In addition:
- All our North American timberlands have been independently certified as meeting the requirements of the Sustainable Forestry
Initiative® (SFI) standard.
- We certified part of the land
we manage in Uruguay to the FSC South American plantation standard and the Uruguayan sustainable forestry standard (UNIT).
The remainder is managed to the requirements of our internal sustainable forestry policy, which ensures that all Weyerhaeuser-managed
forestlands are managed to a consistently high level of stewardship. We collaborated with others in Uruguay to develop the
Uruguayan sustainable forestry standard (UNIT), which has been endorsed by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification
(PEFC).
