The Vietnam Paper Corporation (Vinapaco) on October 26 was awarded with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certificate as a recognition for its sustainable forest management.
Vinapaco has become the first business in Vietnam to have 6,000 ha of forest and forest land – out of 125,000 ha the corporation manages nationwide – presented with a FSC certificate.
According to Vinapaco Director General Vo Sy Dong, the certification will encourage local people and businesses in production and generate jobs for millions of labours, contributing to hunger elimination and poverty reduction in mountainous regions, especially to reducing adverse impacts of forest exploitation and processing to the environment.
Established in 1993 as a response to concerns over global deforestation, FSC is a pioneer forum where the global consensus on responsible forest management convenes and through democratic process effects solutions to the pressures facing the world’s forests and forest-dependent communities.
FSC certification provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value./.
