  • Appendix C: Forest Management Certification Programs
    AAAPPENDIXPPENDIXPPENDIX C: FFC: ORESTORESTOREST MMMANAANAANAGEMENTGEMENTGEMENT CCCERTIFICAERTIFICAERTIFICATIONTIONTION PPPROGRAMS Forest Management and Forest Product Certification In the past 10 years, forest management monitoring has been extended beyond an evalua tion of whether best management practices have been implemented according to state or federal specifications for the protection of habitat values and water quality to encompass ecological, social, and economic values. Independent organizations offer certification of forest management and forest products to forestry operations managed according to an internationally accepted set of criteria for sustainable forest management (Crossley, 1996). The principles and criteria of sustainable forestry are general enough to be appli cable to tropical, temperate, and boreal forests, but the standards used to certify indi vidual operations are sufficiently site- and region-specific for critical evaluation of individual forests and forestry operations. To be certified, forest management must adhere to principles of resource sustainability, ecosystem maintenance, and economic and socioeconomic viability. Resource sustainability means that harvesting is conducted such that the forest remains productive on a yearly basis. Large scale clear-cutting, for instance, such that the forest would have to remain idle and unproductive for many years, would generally not be acceptable. Ecosys tem maintenance means that the ecological processes operating in a forest continue to operate without interruption and the forest’s biodiversity is maintained. The principle implies that harvesting does not fundamentally alter the nature of the forest. Economic and socioeconomic viability incorporate the two previous principles and imply that forest operations are sufficiently profitable to sustain operations from year to year and that social benefits provided by a forest, such as existence and recreational value, are also maintained over the long term.

  • Wood Purchasing Policy 2011-2012
    Wood Purchasing Policy 2011-2012 In partnership with www.maisonsdumonde.com - 2 - www.maisonsdumonde.com Message from the CEO Inaugurating the community forest project in Punjab in February 2011 Forests do a lot for us. They are omnipresent in our product range, every time we renew our collections. Whether the wood we use is Indian sheesham, Indonesian teak or North American oak and pine, this noble, renewable material lends itself to fascinating compositions that we use in our furniture and decorative items, with a preference for solid wood, natural fi- nishes and artisanal craftsmanship. Ensuring that our products are both attractive and sustainable is much more than a duty: it is a personal belief. Setting out to change attitudes and behaviors is also an extraordi- nary adventure. Giving a helping hand to community projects to bring about changes in forest resources and the people who depend on them is more rewarding than any label, because sustainable development is, first and foremost, a human adventure. Xavier Marie CEO - 3 - www.maisonsdumonde.com I - 2010: a pivotal year for sustainable development at Maisons du Monde Set up in 1996 by its founder and CEO Xavier Marie, the young, dynamic company Maisons du Monde has been steadily growing ever since. With a generous range of interior decoration items (over 1600 articles of furniture and numerous developments every year), Maisons du Monde is a key player on the furniture and decoration market. An ongoing challenge, constantly renewed collections, inspired by current trends and ideas, and offering a widely affordable range of decoration. The year 2010 marked a turning point for Maisons du Monde, when the company brought in a widely-publicized responsible purchasing policy for wood.

  • Forestry Criteria Background Paper
    Forestry* Criteria Development of Eligibility Criteria under the Climate Bonds Standard & Certification Scheme November 2018 Prepared by Dr. Christine Negra (Versant Vision LLC), Tanja Havemann (Clarmondial), Katie House (Climate Bonds Initiative), Ujala Qadir (Climate Bonds Initiative) and Chris Moore (Climate Bonds Initiative) * These Criteria also cover the conservation and restoration of non-forested land Supported by: Climate Bonds Initiative Forestry Background Document Definitions Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI): An investor-focused not-for-profit organisation, promoting large-scale investments that will deliver a global low carbon and climate resilient economy. The Initiative seeks to develop mechanisms to better align the interests of investors, industry and government so as to catalyse investments at a speed and scale sufficient to avoid dangerous climate change. Climate Bond: A climate bond is a bond used to finance – or re-finance - projects needed to address climate change. They range from wind farms and solar and hydropower plants, to rail transport and building sea walls in cities threatened by rising sea levels. Only a small portion of these bonds have been labelled as green or climate bonds by their issuers. Certified Climate Bond: A Climate Bond that is certified by the Climate Bonds Standard Board as meeting the requirements of the Climate Bonds Standard, as attested through independent verification. Climate Bonds Standard (CBS): A screening tool for investors and governments that allows them to identify green bonds where they can be confident that the funds are being used to deliver climate change solutions. This may be through climate mitigation impact and/ or climate adaptation or resilience. The CBS is made up of two parts: the parent standard (Climate Bonds Standard v2.1) and a suite of sector specific eligibility Criteria.
