Acacia Guidance
In general, since acacia is a tropical wood, product made with acacia requires FSC Certification. Further, FSC Certification is required for all acacia that is: ● Listed on CITES; ● Listed on IUCN Red List of Threatened Species; or, ● Listed on the Company’s “Requirements for the Use of Wood” list (see below).
However, we can waive our prerequisite of requiring FSC Certification if: 1. The species is plantation grown; 2. Country of harvest of China, India or Vietnam; and, 3. The species is listed below.
The Company has identified the following species of Acacia where the plantation grown exception applies:
● ALBIZIA DURAZ ● CONFUSA ● ESTROPHIOLATA ● FARNESIANA ● MANGIUM ● NILOTICA
The final authority is always the most up-to-date CITES or IUCN Red List of Vulnerable Species.
Plantation is defined as: “A forest area established by planting or sowing with using either alien or native species, often with one or few species, regular spacing and even ages, and which lacks most of the principal characteristics and key elements of natural forests.”
How to confirm for the Company that the species is plantation grown: For the above species of acacia, suppliers need to confirm on the Quote Sheet and PIB if the acacia is plantation grown.
