"SFI Inc. is a fully independent, charitable organization dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management." — SFI web site, Who is SFI Inc.? web site
"Kathy Abusow is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, Inc. (SFI®), a fully independent, non-profit organization. The SFI® program is a comprehensive and rigorous sustainable forestry certification standard that covers more than 160 million certified acres (over 65 million ha.) in the U.S. and Canada and includes over 800 organizations that use the SFI forest certification, chain of custody and fiber sourcing standard or are SFI on-product label users." —SFI web site, Contact SFI page
"The SFI program has developed two different lines of product labels to help consumers identify exactly what they are buying:
- SFI 'certified content' labels show that some or all of the product’s fiber content comes from forests that are certified to the SFI, Canadian Standards Association (CSA), and/or the American Tree Farm System forest management standards.
- SFI fiber sourcing labels do not make claims about certified forest content. They do show that the manufacturer meets objectives 8-13 in the SFI 2005-2009 Standard, and/or Annex 1 in the SFI Requirements for Fiber Sourcing, Chain of Custody and Product Labels document." —SFI web site, Labels and Claims page
