Please comment via , or call our offices or representatives to discuss (contact info below). PF Olsen (Aus) Pty Ltd is seeking Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) endorsed certification for their group forest management operations. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a non- profit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the world s forests. FSC sets standards that ensure forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable way. The area under evaluation includes PF Olsen s Group Certification Scheme, consisting of 8 FMUs throughout Australia, totalling about 20,000 ha. PF Olsen is an independent forest management services provider acting for clients throughout Australia. PF Olsen (Australia) Ltd has also been engaged by the Trust Company (Australia) Ltd, to act as its agent and manage the land and forests estates owned by the Forestry Investment Trust (FIT) and the Australian and New Zealand Forestry Investment Fund (ANZFIF). The forest estate is located across Western Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. The PF Olsen Group Certification Scheme defines an FMU as a district (region). There are two types of members within the PF Olsen Group Certification Scheme:
2 Type I members are those who are forest managers, independent from PL Olsen, and who will continue to manage forests under their control following the PF Olsen group certification requirements. This includes Forestry SA who manages 16 properties owned by FIT SA in the Green Triangle Penola, South Australia Type II members consist of individual properties where the trees are under some type of PF Olsen Management. In this case PFO is responsible for implementing group certification requirements. There are 7 Type II members; ANZIFF Green Triangle Simpson, Victoria; FIT Victoria Green Triangle Hamilton, Victoria; FIT Gippsland Gippsland, Victoria; FIT Tasmania Northern Tasmania; FIT Kangaroo Island Kangaroo Island, South Australia; FIT South Coast WA Albany, Western Australia; FIT West Costs WA Bunbury, Western Australia Scope and Certification Evaluation Process Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), a FSC- accredited certification body based in Emeryville, California, will conduct this FSC evaluation. Due to the lack of an existing accredited regional standard, PF Olsen will be evaluated against the SCS Interim Standard for SCS Interim Standard for Natural Forest and Plantation Forest Management in Australia under the Forest Stewardship Council, V 1.0, which will be a locally- adapted version of the SCS Generic Interim Standard.
