Norbord Achieves Chain of Custody Certification Under SFI(R) and FSC(R) at North American Mills

Tuesday 22. September 2009 - Norbord Inc. (TSX: NBD) today announced that it now has Chain of Custody (CoC) certification under the Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI ) at five additional North American oriented strand board (OSB) mills, bringing the total number to seven. Norbord also achieved Forest Stewardship Council (FSC ) certification at its OSB mill in Bemidji, Minnesota, making it Norbord's third FSC certified mill in North America.

Chain of Custody certification tracks wood fibre from certified forests through the harvesting and manufacturing processes, ensuring that the wood comes from responsibly-managed forests.

“The SFI and FSC certification systems have progressed with our customers’ expectations,” said Mike Dawson, Norbord’s Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Logistics. “Norbord’s ability to offer a range of products with either FSC or SFI Chain of Custody certification is consistent with our strategy of helping builders meet evolving building standards, reduce costs, build faster and increase profits.”
