Discover how new technologies can advance certification – Join the PEFC Stakeholder Dialogue

Whether it is hardware, software, services or tools, the incorporation of technology within forest certification can overcome many barriers.

But what technologies exist, and how can they best be used?

Join us for the 2017 PEFC Stakeholder Dialogue ‘Making Certification SMART’ (16-17 November 2017; Helsinki, Finland) to find out more!

Wide-ranging applications provide solutions for everyday challenges such as improving transparency in complex supply chains, enhancing the ability to map, monitor or manage forest resources, or establishing new ways to engage stakeholders and improve cooperation.

Our two-day dialogue will explore and discover new and emerging technologies which show promise for supporting forest certification.

What can you expect?
The 2017 PEFC Stakeholder Dialogue will bring together forest sector stakeholders, leading technology providers and innovators, and certification experts.

Together, we will exchange views on what is needed, what is working and where are the opportunities for scaling up application.

Join us in Finland!
The backdrop of Finland and the PEFC Forest Certification Week provides a ripe moment to exchange experiences and challenge each other to re-imagine how forest certification should re-equip for the next decade.

The two-day event will combine one day in conference setting with a one-day field trip to enable optimal exchange, demonstration and in-depth discussion on the topic.

Join us the evening before as we kick-off the event with a cocktail reception at 6:30pm on Wednesday 15 November.

The first FSC Interim Forest Stewardship Standard for Slovenia Published

The new FSC Interim Forest Stewardship Standard (IFSS) for Slovenia has been published and becomes effective from 01 October 2023. Forest Stewardship Standards (FSS) are the key mechanism to transfer FSC’s Principles & Criteria into forest management on the ground. They are FSC‘s tool to promote responsible forestry around the world, by ensuring social responsibility, environmental protection, and economic sustainability. The process for developing the IFSS for Slovenia included consultations with various stakeholders, reaching a consensus with social, environmental, and economic interests. An additional public consultation of the HCV Framework was conducted to raise awareness in interested parties on this process, and to organize open discussion on key changes. Relevant comments were incorporated into HCV Framework draft, and one representative of environmental interests said: "It is the first time that the protection of sacred natural sites in Slovenia is mentioned in this kind of document."
