A Comparison of the FSC and SFI Forest Certification Standards
Description - The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) standards offer two approaches to forest management certification. Both programs recently updated their standards for forest certification auditing in the United States. This webinar will review the FSC and SFI standards and some of their key differences. The information from this discussion will be helpful to land managers that are audited to these standards as well as to manufacturers and customers interested in understanding the requirements behind these eco-labels.
How to Deal with Misleading Environmental Claims Related to Print and Paper
Description - Many corporations are promoting electronic communications (ex: e-billing) as a more environmentally-friendly method of communication, and in doing such they are spreading erroneous facts and messages about print and paper. This presentation outlines some of the unique environmental and social features of print and paper products which make it a sustainable way of communicating. The (often ignored) environmental and social impacts of electronic communications will also be reviewed, as well as environmental marketing rules and guidelines that companies should respect when making environmental claims (ex: US Federal Trade Commission Green Guides).

Receive an update on important research initiatives, and successes and opportunities in funding them–and learn how to benefit from the Agenda 2020 program.
Sustaining Profit in Tomorrow's Green Economy
Description - The global economy will need to go green. What does that really mean? Will old concepts of sustainability endure? Where will forest products fit and who will profit? Join Avrim Lazar as he looks into our future. He’ll speak to how the global forest products industry is moving to become a major player in the developing bio-economy, through extracting more value out of the tree as bio-fuels, bio-chemicals, and bio-materials. Given these new product innovations, the best uses and value of wood become critical discussion points in the ongoing sustainability conversations. Existing and expanding competing interests for wood, require in-depth assessments across the economic, social, and environmental landscapes.
In early 2010, FPAC, along with several Canadian partners, released the first phase of the Forest Biopathways study. This initial release examined the economic, social and environmental benefits of integrating new bio-technologies within the traditional forest products industry and it considered how this approach will boost employment and strengthen Canada's economy and rural communities. Canada has unique infrastructure and resources, but the learnings gained from this work can be extended globally.
