“Our forests offer vital answers for Australian priorities,” OneFortyOne’s Planning and Compliance Manager, Janeth Mackenzie said.
“Here in the Green Triangle the forest sector provides thousands of direct and indirect jobs, enhances and protects the environment, traps carbon dioxide, and offers recreation and tourism spaces for visitors and locals alike.
“With this in mind it’s important to all the team at OneFortyOne that our forests and management practices are recognised as being best practice, and that endorsement is sealed through our international and independent certification.”
The recent forest recertification audit tests showed how sustainably the company was managing its Green Triangle forests against nine key standard criterion and 167 individual requirements.
The recertification process considered how OneFortyOne enhanced the region’s long term regional social and economic benefits, improved the local environment and protected important historical and cultural sites within the forests.
“We’ve been certified since 2013 and our continued success is absolutely thanks to the hard work and dedication of our employees and contractor partners who work in the forests every day,” Mrs Mackenzie said.
