iLevel by Weyerhaeuser facilities SFI certified |

As a part of a
broad commitment to corporate social responsibility, iLevel by
Weyerhaeuser announced that all of its structural framing materials are
certified to Sustainable Forestry Initiative Inc.® (SFI®) fiber
sourcing or chain-of-custody standards.
iLevel, Weyerhaeuser’s
integrated residential framing business, providing both products and
unified building solutions, has now achieved SFI certification at all
of its facilities across North America.
All iLevel mills have
one of two certifications: either an SFI fiber sourcing certification,
which means they have a certified procurement system to ensure the wood
comes from responsible sources; or SFI chain-of-custody certification,
which means they have a tracking system in place to identify the amount
of wood fiber originating from forests certified to the SFI, Canadian
Standards Association or American Tree Farm System standards.
Earlier
this year, iLevel products became the first to receive the Green
Approved product seal of approval from the NAHB Research Center. The
mark aims to provide third-party evidence that building products meet
specific scoring criteria for homes seeking certification to the
National Green Building Standard™, a consensus-developed standard
recently approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
