Sustainable forest management (SFM) plays a vital role in preserving ecosystems, supporting biodiversity, and ensuring the long-term availability of forest resources.

As awareness of environmental responsibility grows, purchasers of wood, paper, and fiber-based products are placing increasing value on materials that come from responsibly managed forests.

Intertek supports organizations across the forestry sector in demonstrating their commitment to sustainable practices.
