Public Consultation Open for US National Forest Stewardship Standard

On March 31, 2022, public consultation opened on Draft 2 of the FSC US National Forest Stewardship Standard (Version 2).

As a voluntary certification system, FSC relies on input from stakeholder to ensure our standards are practical and impactful for organizations that choose to seek certification.

Engagement from diverse stakeholders is key to maintaining and improving FSC’s credibility – so thank you in advance for reviewing and commenting at www.engage.us.fsc.org.

This public consultation includes Draft 2 materials for all elements of the standard:
*Base indicators that will be applicable to most FSC certified forest management organizations
*Family Forest Indicators for small and low intensively managed forests
*Plantation Indicators for management units that include plantations, as defined by FSC
*Federal Lands Supplementary Requirements for management units that are managed by Federal agencies

This will be the final public consultation during the Version 2 standard revision process. All input must be submitted through the FSC consultation platform by Tuesday, May 31, 2022, when public consultation will close.

Sappi acts #ForNature and celebrates World Environment Day 2020

If there is something that the last few lockdown months have taught many of us, is that we need to make 'Time for Nature’. We have marvelled as the planet has taken a breather along with her inhabitants and has rejuvenated herself, as we have rediscovered the abundance that she has to offer. It is why it is so apt that it is the theme for this year’s World Environment Day, which happens on Friday 05 June 2020. ‘Time for Nature’ focuses on the role nature plays in providing the essential infrastructure that supports life on Earth and human development. This focus is particularly important to Sappi, which has unlocking the value of woodfibre from it forests, at the core of its sustainable business strategy. Biodiversity is key to the healthy functioning of the forests and plantations from which we source woodfibre – they would not be productive without biotic processes taking place, making World Environment Day particularly relevant to us.
