Pursuant with our announcement in August, VicForests has today released the FSC® Controlled Wood Standard audit report developed on the basis of fieldwork conducted in November 2019.

Although this work was unable to be completed due to the impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19), remaining challenges arising from last summer’s bushfires and ongoing legal issues, feedback from the auditors has been incorporated into our ongoing improvement processes.

VicForests remains committed to pursuing the FSC® Controlled Wood Standard certification process at an appropriate time.
