PF Olsen FSC Group Scheme
The PF Olsen FSC Group Scheme has achieved Forest Stewardship
Council certification (SW-FM/COC-190) and is open to forest owners
throughout New Zealand.
Who Can Join the Scheme?
The scheme is open to all New Zealand forest owners who can
show that they are not unduly prejudiced in obtaining Forest
Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. Group Members do not have to
be management clients of
PF Olsen.
Member Categories
To make administration of the scheme simpler and to recognise PF Olsen's forest management client base we have divided participants into
two categories:
-
Resource Members - PF Olsen Full Management Clients
Resource Members forests are managed operationally by PF Olsen's professional managers at normal fee rates. These
managers ensure operations meet FSC requirements as are defined in PF Olsen's documented Environmental Management System (EMS).
A Resource Member will hold both an FSC Agreement and a Forest
Management Agreement with PF Olsen.
Group Members - Other Forest Owners
Group Members manage their own forests on a day-to-day basis.
To guide their daily management activities, Group members purchase
access to modified versions of the EMS and other system supports (The
FSC kit) which if followed should ensure compliance with FSC
requirements. Apart from ensuring that FSC Principles and Criteria are
met in your forest operations, confirmed through sample audits,
PF Olsen are not required to provide professional input into your forest
management.
A Group Member will only hold an FSC Agreement with PF Olsen.
PF Olsen's FSC Assessor
PF Olsen uses SmartWood as its FSC assessor. SmartWood is
responsible for numerous certifications worldwide and is part of the
Rainforest Alliance. Agriquality is the approved agency for SmartWood
in New Zealand and has a long history of involvement in the forest
industry.
