Forest Owners Environmental Code Wins Award
15 October 2009
Fish & Game New Zealand
congratulates the Forest Owners Association on their
prestigious award for the most outstanding resource
management documentation from the Resource Management Law
Association.
“The awards recognise the value,
importance and practicality of the Forest Owners
Association’s Environmental Code,” said Bryce Johnson,
Chief Executive New Zealand fish & Game Council. “The Code
is an excellent example of audited self management and
mandatory environmentally sustainable best practice, and one
that Fish & Game challenges all primary producers to
emulate.”
“Most significantly, the Environmental
Code has already been adopted by 90% of forestry contractors
and major forest owners. Peter Weir, Forest Owners
Environmental Chair is to be congratulated on his approach
that NZ’s plantation forest industry decided that it
needed to take ownership of its environmental
performance.”
“Dairy companies are in a perfect
position to introduce a similar system of environmentally
sustainable best practice through their supply contracts.”
