Appvion achieves SFI certification

Third-party certifiers verified Appvion's responsible forest management and fiber sourcing practices to globally recognized standards, including certifications from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for Chain of Custody, held for nearly a decade, and the newly completed SFI for Certified Sourcing.

‘Appvion is dedicated to the long-term health and viability of our forests and is committed to responsible forestry management practices,’ commented said Graeme Hodson, executive vice president and president of advanced materials and solutions at Appvion. ‘Given that about 90 percent of the world's forests are uncertified, there needs to be a reliable mechanism to promote responsible procurement from non-certified lands. Our adoption of SFI Certified Sourcing supports this level of responsibility.’

‘We enhance our commitment to sustainable forestry with the SFI Certified Sourcing achievement, which ensures our products flow through the supply chain with the confidence of legally sourced fiber,’ added Michelle Miller, Appvion’s chief sustainability officer. ‘We certify our entire fiber supply chain to ensure working forests for the future.’

Appvion recognizes that encouraging responsible stewardship is one of the keys to protecting forestlands. In 2022, Appvion intends to build upon our SFI achievement and complete the SFI Chain of Custody certification.
