Laval, Québec – January 21, 2019 – The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the world’s most trusted forest certification system, announced that Uniboard has won the 2018 FSC Leadership Award.  Recognizing enduring commitments to forest conservation, the Awards highlight the people and companies whose work demonstrates uncommon excellence in the field of responsible forest management. 

Uniboard won the FSC Leadership Award for consistently offering FSC-certified engineered wood products in the North American building materials market.  Since 2007, Uniboard has been at the forefront of FSC Chain of Custody certification because we believe that responsible wood management is the key to lessen the effects of climate change.
