Forests

All Weyerhaeuser's timberlands 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 SFI standard.
  • We certified part of the land we manage in Uruguay to the FSC South American plantation standard (9,000 out of 140,000 hectares). 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 have collaborated with others in Uruguay to finalize the Uruguayan sustainable forestry standard (UNIT) and are now working to gain recognition from the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
  • Land we own in China is managed to the requirements of our internal sustainable forestry policy and we are currently developing plans for forest certification.
