| OUR ENVIRONMENT - OUR FUTURE |
Our plant is located in the heart of the Acadian Forest Region of Canada; a mountainous region with slow grown mixed forests. For our company to continue to grow, we must ensure the long-term sustainability of our forests.
At Briggs, we have developed strong partnerships with our wood suppliers, our principal supplier being Nexfor Fraser Papers Inc. Their woodlands operations are fully accredited under the internationally recognized standard, ISO 14001. Fraser is also recognized as being verified to the Sustainable Forest Initiative Program (SFI SM 2001), as established by the American Forest and Paper Association. This program specifies rigorous environmental and conservation practices for forestry, wildlife, water quality protection, biodiversity conservation, and harvesting practices.
By purchasing wood from certified forests, our company and customers are assured that the wood that we use is harvested from properly managed forests.
