The upcoming Board year marks an exciting phase for FSC ANZ as we embark on the third year of our strategic plan with numerous significant initiatives in progress. Notably, the revision of the National Forest Stewardship Standard for Australia is well underway, showcasing remarkable progress. Additionally, our Promotional Licence Holder (PLH) partnership program continues to flourish across Australia and New Zealand, and our engagement with our FSC community through events like International Women's Day, International Day of Forests, the PLH forum and FSC Forest Week campaigns foster collaboration across Australia and New Zealand, emphasising the significance of FSC certification.
The momentum of FSC ANZ has reached new heights, underscoring the important role of our Board directors and members in ensuring our continued success. As we strive to expand our certified area, grow our presence in the supply chain and mobilise our retail partners to raise consumer awareness of our brand's importance, the dedication of our Board is indispensable.
