Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) released a new set of standards that will guide the organization's certification practices through 2019. SFI claims that its standards include policies and guidelines that will help protect water quality, biodiversity, wildlife, endangered species and old-growth forests in the United States and Canada.

3M has announced that it will stop relying on Sustainable Forestry Initiative certifications and will conduct its own screening and audits of paper suppliers across its whole supply chain. The move is seen as a victory for environmental activists, who have long argued that SFI is a greenwashing operation with ties to major logging companies. MinnPost.com (3/6)
