About FPAC
The Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) is the voice of Canada's wood, pulp and paper producers nationally and internationally in government, trade, and environmental affairs. Canada's forest products industry is a 57 billion dollar a year industry that represents 12% of Canada's manufacturing GDP. The industry is one of Canada's largest employers, operating in 200 forest-dependent communities from coast to coast, and directly employing 240,000 Canadians across the country.
FPAC represents the largest Canadian producers of forest products, and all FPAC members are signatories of the historic Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement. Our members are responsible for 66% of certified forest lands in Canada. FPAC and its members, as well as a number of environmental organizations, are partners in the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement. The group works to identify solutions to conservation issues that meet the goal of balancing the three pillars of sustainability linked to human activities. Third-party certification of member companies' forest practices is a condition of membership in the Association – a world first.
