In a major coup for the Australian forest, wood, paper and timber products industry, the Program for Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC) and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) have committed members of their global leadership teams to speak at the industry conference in Melbourne on 9 September.
The global president of the PEFC, William V. Street, based in the US, and Corey Brinkema, US president FSC, will both address the conference. ForestWorks is presenting the Conference for the third year running.
“This is a major conference, and with global speakers from the certification schemes and Australian companies and stakeholders discussing the key issues of markets, investment and community issues, this will again be a significant event,” said ForestWorks chief executive officer Michael Hartman.
The Conference is themed ‘Australia’s Place in the Changing Global Forest Products Market’.
