Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organization providing a system of responsible forest management including environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of timber products. FSC supports the maintenance of forest biodiversity, ecological processes and productivity. It believes that forest management needs to be profitable without unduly affecting the ecosystem, forest resources or local communities.
FSC Chain of Custody enables the tracking of raw wood products from plantations and forests through to its finished product. This includes all successive stages and intermediate links in harvesting, transportation and processing. By gaining FSC Chain of Custody certification of its woodchip product, WAPRES can demonstrate that it complies with the highest social and environmental standards.
WAPRES Managing Director Masashi Watanabe is pleased to be entering into an arrangement with FSC. “FSC Chain of Custody certification is an important certification for WAPRES’ overseas customers assuring them that the woodchips WAPRES sells are derived from a certified timber source that is responsibly managed”, he said.
WAPRES plans to gain FSC Chain of Custody certification of its woodchip product by the end of September 2010.
