Large companies trading in timber and other wood products meet only a quarter of the 22 best practice indicators for deforestation and biodiversity, according to the latest report published by the Sustainability Policy Transparency Toolkit (SPOTT) – launched corporate transparency initiative. 2014 by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL).

SPOTT publishes annual assessments of the 100 most important companies trading in specialty forest products such as timber, rubber and palm oil. Each company’s policies are scored against 175 environmental, social and governance indicators, making the report “the first step in a due diligence process to give a clear view to everyone who uses tropical wood or oil Palm on which companies have the best commitment. Location,” said Charlie Hammons. , Forestry Technical Advisor at SPOTT.

Companies assessed in the 2020 Wood and Pool Assessment received an average score of 22.6 percent this year – up 2.2 percent from 2019, despite tougher criteria. Companies met an average of only 26.7 percent of the indicators in the deforestation and biodiversity sectors, but one criterion – a commitment to zero conversion of natural forests – was met by 56 percent of companies.

About a third of companies had a clear and comprehensive sustainability strategy, but only 12 percent extended that strategy to all their suppliers. Only 15 percent have a process to trace raw materials to the original Forest Management Unit (FMU).

More than half of the companies surveyed said they are committed to respecting the rights of local communities, but only 9 percent of companies have disclosed procedures for obtaining free informed consent from local communities for their -all new developments, and only eleven companies have given evidence. which they have.

“Reports like this help hold the most influential companies accountable and put pressure on them to improve their sustainability policies and practices,” said Sarah Rogerson, lead researcher for the Global Canopies Forest 500 project, which was involved in the report.

This year marks the first step toward the 2014 New York Forest Declaration’s goal of halting the loss of natural forests by 2030, making it “an important year for tropical forestry,” Hammons said. But “despite the goal of reducing deforestation by 2020, forty of the companies we surveyed… still lack a strong commitment to reducing deforestation or the conversion of natural ecosystems in the chain supplies.”

“The latest SPOTT report reveals a lack of forest protection among the largest timber and paper companies,” said Rogerson. “The main issue is the lack of evidence of implementation or protection even by those who have commitments.” Of the 50 zero-deforestation companies, only 12 have implemented a system to track deforestation, and only nine have published deforestation figures in the past two years.

The SPOTT 2020 report adds new criteria for practices and policies used in 2019 and offers points to companies that go the “extra mile of external validation on certain their policies,” Hammons said. For example, companies earn extra points for criteria certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Program for Forest Certification (PEFC).

FSC certification was established in 1994, and by 2020 more than 210 million hectares (about 811,000 square miles) of forests worldwide had received the council’s prestigious international certification. The PEFC joint scheme, established in 1999, “has certified nearly 320 million hectares (1.2 million square miles) of forest worldwide through the support of national certification systems designed to depending on the political, economic, social, environmental and cultural conditions of these countries,” said PEFC’s Head of Communications, Thorsten Arndt.

In this year’s SPOTT report, the average score for practice indicators (19.5 percent) was lower than for policy (25.3 percent), a rather predictable result, given the tens or hundreds of providers and the time spent required to implement the provider’s policy. Millions of hectares of forest land, as well as some companies may be hindered by the lack of technical capacity and the cost of hiring external consultants.

Not to mention the (hopefully some) delusional players whose high-scoring strategies are nothing more than PR exercises. The new SPOTT benchmarks for 2020 provide an additional level of detail to understand how the world’s largest suppliers behave.

One key finding: The relationship between the big timber companies and their suppliers was one of the weakest areas in this year’s report card. Only 15 percent of the largest 100 companies have policies in place to support small contracted owners, and only 20 percent have discussed with their suppliers compliance with legal requirements and company policies .

These results are particularly worrying, Arndt said, “given the importance of smallholders in tropical countries in reducing deforestation and forest degradation through sustainable forest management on the one hand, and the importance of forest conservation is for their livelihood on the other hand.”

Despite the challenge of tougher regulations, half of the companies assessed still saw their scores increase compared to 2019. “Companies that are growing despite changes should be identified as have made real improvements,” said Rogerson.

For example, the Swiss timber company Precious Woods, which manages 1.1 million hectares (about 4,250 square miles) of FSC- and PEFC-certified forest concessions in the state of Amazonas, Brazil, and the regions of Ogoouée-Lolo and Haut -ogooue, Gabon, in second place. yes With a score of 89 percent in the 2020 SPOTT report – a 12 percent increase over 2019.

“The release of Precious Woods’ first sustainability and transparency report was “critical to improving our scoring,” according to Markus Pfunkuch, Technical Advisor at Precious Woods.

The company is committed to zero deforestation and has an established plan to report and evaluate conservation value, social and environmental impacts. Additionally, camera traps have shown that their sustainably managed forest concessions in Gabon shelter local biodiversity, including the elusive African golden cat. lose (

While there is still room for improvement among high-quality companies, Arndt suggests, “Working with existing unproven companies and getting them to adopt sustainable forest management and sustainable sourcing practices can have a big impact.” on the ground.”

SPOTT enabled companies to be actively involved in their assessments, and in some cases consultation with these companies throughout the process has led to proactive improvements in policy and practice, which according to Hammons. The positive impact of this participation can be seen in the final scorecard – 19 of the top 21 scoring companies are active companies.
