Timber for Haiti • Minimize the negative and maximize the positive. • Avoid illegal and unwanted sources • Maximize recycled/reclaimed and credibly certified sources Rebuilding without doing NO MORE HARM
Do no more harm • Use responsibly sourced or recycled materials where possible and rebuild local industries • Avoid exacerbating existing pressure on local natural resources (eg avoid timber supply from stressed forest systems – especially important considering historical deforestation in Haiti) • Involve local processing industries (sawmills) in customizing, treatment and distribution of materials • Avoid creating new or expanding existing processing industries beyond the long-term capacity for the relevant natural resource to supply them
What do I ask? • Is the source legal? • How did it get here? – Supply chain traceability? – Supply chain complexity? • What is the environmental status? • • • Certified/recycled In-progress to certification Known licensed Known Unwanted Unknown
Risk Management • 3 rd party audited? • High risk vs low risk? – Traceability – Country of origin – Species • Is the company in a “stepwise approach” program (GFTN, Smart. Step, TFT)?
Hierarchy of Responsible Timber Sourcing • FSC certified/recycled or reclaimed material • Licensed known source (3 rd party certified) • Known source
Maximize • Credibly certified • Forest source certified by independent 3 rd party as being well -managed under a credible certification scheme • Verification: -Valid forest management (FM) certificate -Valid chain of custody (Co. C) certificate • Progressing towards credible certification • A known licensed forest source participating in a timebound process of progressing toward credible certification. -GFTN participants, The Forest Trust, Smart. Wood’s Smart. Step
Known licensed and known • If FSC certified timber is unavailable, source from known licensed and known sources • Known licensed source • Basic legality check: • Supply chain mapped to known forest source • Legal right to harvest/charges and fees paid/timber legally traded • Independent 3 rd party verification • Each stage has verified Chain of Custody controls • Known source • Traceable back to forest source • Low risk: district level • High risk: forest management unit (FMU)
Eliminate • Unknown • Unwanted sources • • • Illegally harvested or traded wood Conflict timber Timber in violation of traditional/ civil rights Conversion Uncertified High Conservation Value Forests GMOs
Committing to responsible purchasing • Gain support and commitment from senior management within the program • Develop policies on souring • Communicate and train staff on policies • Establish a monitoring and traceability system • Implement • Review and improve
