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 certified the forest (or area) as
well-managed.

Products certified to PEFC Annex 4 originate from CSA Z809 Sustainable Forest Management lands. Certified products are available from all our divisions (Logging, Whitewood Lumber, Western Red Cedar Lumber, and Shake & Shingles).

PEFC Annex 4 Chain of Custody audits occur yearly in all our facilities throughout B.C. to ensure the highest level of tracking and integrity of certified material. PEFC provides customers with the assurance that the products they are purchasing come from sustainably managed resources.

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.
