Tanac´s Black Wattle Forests are certified in the controlled wood and forest management modalities
Tanac has just been audited for the maintenance of the FSC® certification – Forest Stewardship Council® – internationally recognized as the most rigorous and reliable forest certification system in the world. During the auditing, products from responsible production chains are evaluated and, with this, FSC® aims to spread the rational use of forests, ensuring their existence in the future.
Tanac holds the certification in two modalities: FSC-C012089 (controlled wood) and FSC-C016659 (forest management), which prove the sustainable management of Tanac’s Black Wattle forests in southern Brazil.
Tanac believes in the balance between the use and preservation of environmental resources and is aligned with the basic principles that compose the FSC®, in which forests need to be economically viable, environmentally correct, and socially just. Therefore, all the raw material of the products comes from renewable sources, through the responsible forest management.
The recognition of FSC® reinforces Tanac’s commitment to conduct its activities responsibly, minimizing impacts on the environment and promoting the socioeconomic development of the communities and the regions around the company.
ABOUT FSC®
The FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization, created in 1994 to promote responsible forest management around the world, through a pioneering and unique certification system that incorporates, equally, the perspectives of social, environmental, and economic groups. Based in Germany and Mexico, it is present in more than eighty countries. The certification has a set of internationally recognized rules, called Principles and Criteria, that reconcile ecological safeguards with the social benefits and economic viability of these activities.
