Third-Party Independence and Neutrality

Forest2Market is a neutral and independent, third-party reporting service. We don't buy or sell timberland, timber or wood fiber of any kind.

 

Anti-Trust Compliance

Because we report prices and produce benchmarks, Forest2Market is required to adhere to the U.S. Justice Department's anti-trust and "safe harbour" standards.

In order to be in compliance with these standards, a firm must:

  • Be independent
  • Meet a volume threshold
  • Require a minimum number of participants
  • Report benchmarks with a time delay

Forest2Market abides by these standards and has received favorable legal opinions from regional, industry-experienced legal council for each of our product offerings.

Audits

All data submissions are subject to periodic process and security audits by Ernst and Young.
