8 FSC s response: beyond legality towards sustainability! Timber Legality legislation is important! Can help reducing deforestation, poor labour conditions, violation of indigenous rights, robbing of national resources, corruption of enforcement agents. But will only bring sustainable forestry if national laws so require. FSC forest management standards go always beyond the legal requirements and generate an important contribution to sustainability. Legality requirement will make it easier to make the step to certification: less/no competition with cheap illegal timber anymore. A legal timber claim is no marketing opportunity, but FSC does. FSC offers the Legality+ solution: legality plus environmental, social and economic sustainability criteria. FSC certified companies in risky countries should not be punished. 8 FSC All rights reserved April 10, 2013

10 Steps within the company due diligence system (DDS) 1. Access to information 2. Risk evaluation FSC certified & FSC controlled wood Other timber Tree species X Origin X Volume X Identity of supplier X Produkttyp (Annex 1) X Compliance with national legislation in harvesting country Evaluation criteria Risk evaluation system X 3. Risk mitigation Appropriate measures to mitigate risk X FSC All rights reserved April 10, 2013

11 Your DDS and how it works with FSC FSC All rights reserved April 10,

12 Implementing Act on Due Diligence - July 2012 Clarifies requirements for certification schemes to be taken into account for risk assessment and risk mitigation Summarized: 1. Publicly available standards, including all applicable legislation; 2. Appropriate checks, including field-visits, at least every 12 months; 3. Timely tracing of timber/products harvested throughout the supply chain; 4. Controls to prevent timber/products of unknown origin or illegally logged to enter supply chain; FSC All rights reserved April 10, 2013

13 Conclusions for operators buying FSC materials 1. Can use FSC Advice Notes and, later, the OCP for access to information required for DDS. 2. Can claim with Competent Authorities that certified products, including Controlled Wood products, are duly checked in FSC s scheme by Certification Bodies, as well FSC s own risk assessments. 3. For products outside the scope of FSC: have to find their own way to comply with the EU Timber Regulation. Move to FSC, including CW, can be considered. FSC All rights reserved April 10, 2013
