Abstract
Summary
Description
On 1. September 2021 FSC made it obligatory for all FSC certified companies around the world to ensure and prove that they adhere to the core ILO conventions, which aim to remove all forced and child labor, address discrimination and ensure that everyone everywhere has freedom of association and collective bargain rights. This new requirement affects +77.000 companies around the world covered by a FSC chain of custody certificate. In this episode of Forest for the Future we dive into what this means for certified companies and what value it brings – both to them, to FSC and to the world. The episode is an interview with Vicky Tran, CW/CoC Policy Manager, and William Cook, CW/CoC Policy Officer in the FSC Performance and Standards Unit. The two have had the pleasure of figuring out how to implement Workers requirements into FSC and am now leading up the global roll out in close companion with our national and regional offices.
