| is.evaluation.notes | Interesting global market overview on paper production and related social and environmental risks and various impacts, including statistics for each continent. Followed by recommendations for consumers, companies and governments. Positive about FSC as the best and most credible certification scheme. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | Companies should source any virgin wood fibre for paper from forest and plantations that have credible, independent, third-party certification for employing the most environmentally and socially responsible forest management and restoration practices. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is currently the only international certification programme that comes closest to meeting this goal. | |
| is.evaluation.quotes | The pulp and paper sector is not transparent on its impact on forests and only a minority of companies disclose their policies and practices. An assessment by the Forest 500 of 250 companies, worldwide, with an impact on forest, showed that 93% of them had no forest policy at all, while a study by supply-change found that of the 114 pulp and timber companies it assessed, only 48 had taken steps to protect HCV areas and that only about half of them were transparent about the progress oftheir commitments. | |
