After consultation with certified forest managers and chain of custody certificate holders from around Australia, Responsible Wood has launched a new Sustainably Grown, Australian Made supporting statement logo to help promote its core values. Source: Timberbiz
The supporting statement has been created in two variants; a graphic stamp or pre-set type. The new supporting statement “stamp” features a stylized map of Australia and the words “Sustainably Grown, Australian Made”.
The supporting statement is aimed at helping forest management and chain of custody certificate holders communicate to their customers about how and where their goods were grown and made.
Many Australian businesses feel it is important to communicate to their customers where their products come from and where they were made.
Consumers can have confidence that when they read “Sustainably Grown, Australian Made” they are protecting Australia’s forests for the next generation and supporting domestic timber industry supply chains.
Organisations certified certified to sustainable forest management standard are independently audited each year against internationally endorsed and science based,
world-class standards.
Responsible Wood is the national governing body for PEFC International and is an accredited standards development organiation in Australia and New Zealand.
In an Australian context, the standard has been tailored to the needs of the specific forest ecosystems here in Australia, including the legal and administrative frameworks, the socio-cultural context, and other relevant factors.
Organisations must be certified to the sustainable forest management and chain of custody standards – AS/NZS 4708 & AS 4707 and must have a valid Logo Usage Licence Agreement with Responsible Wood
The supporting statement may only be used with the Responsible Wood
certification mark.
Responsible Wood is happy to provide guidance on logo use and answer any questions on the use of its certification mark and the accompanying supporting statement.
Organisations that meet the requirements for using the supporting statement and that are interested in using the logo are encouraged to fill out a form to request a logo suite, which will include your accompanying licence numbers.
