The Teal-Jones Group is committed to sustainable management of the resources under their stewardship in a scientifically credible and environmentally, economically and socially responsible manner.

The Environmental Policy details Teal's objectives and commitments in the long term productivity and conservation of natural resources.

Forest certification is a means of protecting forest by promoting responsible and sustainable forest management. Certification provides an independent third-party assurance that a forestry operation meets standards set by a certification program. Forests are evaluated according to previously defined standards of the certification program by
a qualified independent auditor. If satisfied, the auditor will certify the forest (or area) as sustainably managed.

The Teal Jones Group has achieved Canadian Standards Association Sustainable Forest Management (CAN/CSA-Z809-2002) certification on our forest lands in Southern Vancouver Island and our Fraser Timberlands.

Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC Annex 4) Chain of Custody certification provides customers with the assurance that the products they are purchasing come from sustainably managed resources. Certified products are available from all our divisions (Logging, Whitewood Lumber, Western Red Cedar Lumber, and Shake & Shingles).
