Kruger's Corner Brook Mill Receives FSC Certification for Woodland Operations

Kruger Inc., Montréal, Qué., Canada, this week announced that the Woodland Operations at its Corner Brook, N.L., Canada, mill has achieved certification under the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) National Boreal Standard. Issued by QMI-SAI Canada Ltd., an FSC-accredited organization, the certificate recognizes that all woodland operations comply with FSC requirements, including management planning, road construction and maintenance, harvesting operations, fiber transportation, silviculture, and support activities.

Kruger's Corner Brook Mill obtained this certification after a rigorous auditing process, building on its existing certifications to the ISO Environmental Management and CSA Sustainable Forest Management Standards. The new certificate covers forest management districts nos. 5, 6, 9, 14, 15, and 16.

In recent years, Kruger has achieved several FSC certifications, including FSC Chain of Custody (CoC) certification for its Québec paper mills and sawmills and for the five Kruger Products tissue mills, as well as FSC certification for its forest management practices in Québec.
