Enabling sustainability through forest certification
Responsible Wood is pleased to share our new five year strategy: 2023 – 2028.
Our strategy focuses on certification, education, and communication to generate demand for Australian and New Zealand wood products sourced from sustainably managed forests. We aim to provide confidence, security, authenticity, and authority in the market.
Australia and New Zealand have world-class sustainable forest management practices, and our goal is to develop credible standards, promote sustainable forests and their products, support scheme participants, educate users, and facilitate global trade through the PEFC system.
We aim to promote and facilitate the global trade in sustainable forest products by endorsing and supporting the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) system. By aligning ourselves with the world’s largest certification system, we can contribute to the expansion of the sustainable forest products market and its positive impact on global sustainability efforts.
On the new strategy Responsible Wood CEO Simon Dorries comments,
This strategy is key in establishing a strong foundation for the Australian and New Zealand wood product industries. Our commitment to developing credible standards and promoting authentic, sustainably managed forests sets us apart as leaders in the global market. Our strategy reflects this and the role we play in enabling sustainability in our region.
