SFI® Inc. is a sustainability leader that stands for future forests. We are an independent, non-profit organization that provides supply chain assurances, produces conservation outcomes, and supports education and community engagement. SFI works with the forest sector, brand owners, conservation groups, resource professionals, landowners, educators, local communities, Indigenous peoples, governments, and universities. SFI standards and on-product labels help consumers make responsible purchasing decisions. We oversee the SFI Forest Partners® Program, which aims to increase the source of certified forest products, and the SFI Conservation Grants Program, which fund research toward improved understanding of conservation outcomes from managed forestlands. We promote community engagement through the SFI Network, and foster students’ appreciation for and knowledge of the environment through our award-winning Project Learning Tree® (PLT) program. SFI Inc. is governed by an independent three-chamber board of directors representing environmental, social, and economic sectors equally.
PLT seeks to advance environmental literacy, stewardship, and career pathways using trees and forests as windows on the world. It helps develop students’ awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of the environment, builds their skills and ability to make informed decisions, and encourages them to take personal responsibility for sustaining the environment and our quality of life that depends on it. Since 1976, PLT has trained over 775,000 educators to help 140 million students learn how to think, not what to think, about complex environmental issues. PLT works closely with an international network of partners in all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, Chile, Japan, Mexico, and Uruguay, including one or more “PLT State Coordinators” who disseminate and deliver PLT at the local level.
