| Norbord is committed to the sustainable management of forest resources. |
| |
| Norbord believes that the third party certification of wood procurement and forest management practices is integral to maintaining and improving forest ecosystems. Our long-term success is based on the vitality and productivity of the forest and we have put in place policies to ensure that sustainable forest management principles are entrenched in our culture. |
| |
| Norbord has adopted a forest certification strategy that does not endorse one single certification system. Each Norbord operation employs the certification system best suited to the expectations of our wood suppliers, customers and local stakeholders. |
| |
| Norbord’s staff of wood procurement professionals works closely with our wood supply partners to improve the integrity of the harvesting process. |
| SFI |
| The Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) program, is a comprehensive system of principles, objectives and performance measures developed by foresters, conservationists and scientists, that combines the perpetual growing and harvesting of trees with the protection of wildlife, plants, soil and water quality. |

| FSC |
| The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-profit organization that supports environmentally appropriate management of the world’s forests. It promotes an international labeling scheme for forest products, which provides a guarantee that the product comes from a well-managed forest, and meets internationally recognized criteria of forest stewardship. |
