COMPANY SPOTLIGHT
FSC VERIFIED IMPACT FOCUSES ON SEVEN ES CATEGORIES:
• Biodiversity
• Carbon
• Water
• Soil
• Recreation
• Culture
• Air quality
“ As businesses face increasing pressure from consumers, investors and regulators to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, the need for credible sustainability certifications has never been greater,” Maria explains.
“ Forest certifications can serve as independent validation that a company’ s environmental and social claims are credible, verifiable and aligned with global standards.
Jorge continues:“ We believe that FSC provides the best and most scalable path for businesses and governments to tackle the negative impacts created in forest operations and build on their legacies by promoting environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world’ s forests.”
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE SUSTAINABILITY LEADERS LOOKING TO ENGAGE WITH FOREST STEWARDSHIP?
“ The best way sustainability leaders can be a part of the solution is to start acting on it with urgency,” Maria says.“ We need global collective action to halt the environmental crises; and organisations need to be brave in taking bigger steps in their sustainability journeys which eventually shape the legacy of an organisation.
“ Investigate the paths available to your organisation and choose the options you trust to guide you towards more sustainable solutions.”
