January 17, 2008, Press Release – Central National-Gottesman is please to announce that we are now triple certified, having met the requirements of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) Program Annex 2 Chain of Custody Standard and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC) Annex 4: Chain of Custody of Forest Based Products. These certifications apply to the Lindenmeyr Central, Lindenmeyr Munroe, Lindenmeyr Book Publishing and Central National-Gottesman divisions. Central National-Gottesman had previously become FSC-certified in December 2004. The Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) program is based on the premise that responsible environmental behavior and sound business decisions can co-exist. SFI program participants practice sustainable forestry on all the lands they manage. They also influence millions of additional acres through the training of loggers and foresters in best management practices and landowner outreach programs. This unique commitment to sustainable forestry recognizes that all forest landowners, not just SFI program participants, play a critical role in ensuring the long-term health and sustainability of our forests. The PEFC Council (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organization, founded in 1999 which promotes sustainability managed forests through independent third party certification. The PEFC provides an assurance mechanism to purchasers of wood and paper products that they are promoting the sustainable management of forests. PEFC is a global umbrella organization for the assessment of and mutual recognition of national forest certification schemes developed in a multi-stakeholder process. These national schemes build upon the inter-governmental processes for the promotion of sustainable forest management, a series of on-going mechanisms supported by 149 governments in the world covering 85% of the world's forest area.
