Environmental Management

Falco Neozelandae small

Responsible environmental management is an integral part of our business

PF Olsen achieved ISO 14001 certification for their Environmental Management System (EMS) in July 1998 and have maintained that certificate ever since with no major corrective actions required.

Competent management of the environmental effects of our operations is important, not only directly for the benefit of the ecosystems and species that develop or exist within forests but for the role the forests play in the wider ecological landscape. At PF Olsen we apply comprehensive management effort and attention to eliminating, or minimising, risks and ensuring forests and forestry remain positive contributors to the environment.

PF OLSEN GROUP SCHEME FSC® CERTIFICATION

Our group scheme certification has been developed to help forest owners and forestry investors to achieve the certification at a much-reduced cost in terms of dollars and time.

Being certified means the forest is managed in a way that preserves biodiversity, with all operations monitored against environmental and social impacts.

Each certified forest is covered by a management plan, which requires reporting, environmental monitoring, and preservation of high conservation value areas, such as Significant Natural Areas.
