The OWPEA is forward-thinking in its approach to matters

related to the environment. In all initiatives and programs to

identify new markets for the Ontario wood products industry,

the OWPEA is committed to promoting principles of

environmental stewardship, conservation, and long-term

sustainability of Ontario’s natural resources. This includes

promotion of respect for the land that provides these natural

resources through programs such as forest management

plans, wildlife habitat protection, and environmental habitat

restoration.

 

 

 

Ontario Wood will pro-actively apply sound environmental practices to internal operations and purchasing decisions. We will seek ways to minimize our consumption of resources, including energy, paper and water, and our generation of waste and emissions. We will help create opportunities for our members and employees to do the same.
