Paper Procurement Policy

The Ontario Forestry Association is proud of the very rigorous regulatory framework that Ontario has in place for sustainable forest management. Ontario has world class forestry management practices,a fact that has Ontario forest companies well placed to become certified under the the main, independent internationally accepted certification processes. The OFA will make every effort to support the Ontario forest industry in our paper procurement process. The OFA will request Ontario paper from our suppliers, and when it is not identifiable as such we will choose certified paper. Every issue of the OFA newsletter and other documents, when possible, will follow this procurement process and be labeled as a sustainable forest paper product.
