Globally, our forests are increasingly faced with deforestation and forest degradation. There is a growing need to protect forests with unique social and environmental values such as Intact Forest landscapes (IFL), old-growth forests, Indigenous Cultural Landscapes (ICL) and similar forests. But often, there is disagreement on the right approach to protect or conserve these forests. Â
FSC is doing this by introducing a global framework for discussion and a new method for dialogues.
To add value to FSC certification, FSC has developed market tools for FSC certified forest operations as well as operations who need additional support before getting certified. These tools are being piloted locally to drive community and family forest certification on a global scale.Â
FSC, together with an advisory group of members, has committed a study 'Forestry Intensification for Shared Value' to identify if and when we can consider intensified forestry as sustainable. Coming from this work, we found that implementing shared values can make intensification sustainable if shared value is considered at the landscape level, not just at the management unit level.
Shared values are the positive result of (intensified) forestry, such as in plantations, which are commonly recognized amongst the different stakeholder groups (social, environmental and economic) across the wider landscape.
If you would like to create a more sustainable supply chain, or communicate your sustainability practices to your customers, we can help.
