The Softwood Lumber Board has published its 2024 Annual Report, which details the organization’s impact generating more softwood lumber demand by expanding new and emerging markets and protecting existing markets. In 2024, the SLB continued to target investments across its key program areas of codes, communications, conversions and education through its funded programs, partnerships and initiatives.
Key accomplishments include:
- Every $100 the SLB invests in programs leverages $96 in additional outside funding on average since 2021.
- The AWC’s 2027 IBC change priority would create $360,000 in savings per building, making wood construction more cost-competitive by reducing sealant/adhesive requirements when adopted.
- Think Wood and WoodWorks co-nurtured leads that led to 31 projects breaking ground in 2024, representing 40.9 MM BF.
- Think Wood produced 10,647 highly engaged leads – a record.
- The SLB and its funded programs delivered more than 163,400 hours of education to architects, engineers, developers, contractors and code officials.
