Title: Episode 65:Joining forces from forest to ocean - Tropical timber in the Yachting Industry
Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard
Description: In this episode we focus on how we through collaboration and innovation can improve the way entire industries source. More specifically we are going to look at how we through joint effort are trying to make the sourcing in the yachting industry more sustainable.
Timber has been used on the oceans for hundreds of years. But there is a challenge: The species used most often are technically superior but comes with a high social and ecological price. We must find new sustainable solutions. This will require innovation, collaboration, and new partnerships.
In the episode I am joined by Olaf van Tunen from Van Stijn Rijnwoude, Friso Kuperus from Pure Vision, Tijmen Hennekes from FSC Netherlands and Gao Ya from FSC International.
The episode was sponsored by Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (https://www.fpa2.org)
Title: Episode 64: Getting rid of the bad apples – FSCs work on risk based interventions
Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard
Description: In this episode we talk about risk or more specifically how FSC is increasingly transitioning toward being a risk-based system. This means diving deeper into, how we in FSC are developing a system, where we evaluate the risk profile of a certificate holders and present them to with differentiated requirements for auditing, based on whether they are high risk or low risk.
What does that mean, how far along is the thinking on this and how would this work? Those are some of the questions that I have today for my two guests, Marc Jessel, Chief Systems integrity officer at FSC, and Elena Tveritinove, interim program manager for Supply Chain integrity at FSC.
Title: Episode 63: 1 + 1 = 11 – Partnerships as a catalyst for change
Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard
Description: This episode is on partnerships – good partnerships, bad partnerships, failed partnerships and those tough partnerships, that might just surprise you.
I’ve invited three people to have a conversation with me on this. Mette Boye, Conservation Director, WWF World Wildlife Fund in Denmark, Ulf Johansson, Head of Global Wood Supply & Forestry, IKEA and Kim Carstensen, CEO of FSC International. All of them have heaps of experience with partnerships. We are going to talk about how you know who to work with and who not, how partnerships evolve and what their biggest concerns are for partnerships moving forward.
The audio for this episode was recorded live during the international world congress for architects UIA23, at the FSC Lounge supported by EU Life programme. (EU-Life / LIFE20/GIE/NL/001073 )
Title: Episode 62: Solutionists – how business can fix the future
Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard
Description: In this episode we dive deep into how we leverage the power of each and everyone of us to halt climate change, the biodiversity crises, the social divide and injustice. We only have seven years left before we hit the targets in the Paris Agreement and many of the magical timelines set by companies worldwide. But we can do!
That is at least the encouragement from the guest in this episode, Solitaire Townsend, who has just released the book “Solutionists – how businesses can fix the future”. Solitaire is co-founder of the global and award-winning sustainability agency Futerra and works with clients in the big league – such as IKEA, Google, United Nations and Lancome – and she is now offering all of her learnings in a “how-to” book, that helps all of us becoming more actionable on the high hairy topics.
Title: Episode 61: FSC in Ukraine: Providing meaning and value – a status 1,5 years into the war
Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard
Description: In this episode we return to Ukraine one and a half year after the invasion and for the first time we will hear from our team on the ground and from some of the certificate holders. They will share their stories and enlighten us on, why a thing like maintaining FSC can be important even when you live in a country under attack from foreign invasion. During our conversation we covered topics as broad as what changes in everyday work life the war has required, why FSC for many businesses and forest owners is more important than ever, how integrity is maintained and why it is so crucial that we maintain our business with Ukrainian companies.
To help me learn more, I invited Pavlo Kravets, Director of FSC Ukraine, Yevhenii Khan, Chain of Custody and integrity manager at FSC Ukraine, Viktoria Kuchmuk, Manager of Zunami LLC - an FSC-certified working company producing oak floors and Natalia Pokinska, Managing Director at Kronospan UA LLC – the largest wood-based panels-producing company in the country.
Title: Episode 60: FSC Check – how FSC will use risk evaluation as part of the certification process
Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgard
Description: In this episode we dive deep into the world of safeguarding FSCs integrity and ensuring that the businesses and organisations around the world working with FSC are the good guys.
In a world where sustainable transformation is the norm and prerequisite for many business transactions and license to operate, getting certified by FSC is increasingly attractive to companies around the world. This is a positive thing. But it also means that some might want to join FSC, who do not necessarily fit the profile of companies, we want to work with. They might be deforesting forest areas in other parts of their business or violating human or workers’ rights.
Destructive activities such as these are a part of a longer list of actions that are in the FSC system called “unacceptable activities”. Today we are going to talk about a new tool in FSC, which will help us identify the if a company that wants to get certified, or an applicant member has been involved in an unacceptable activity or not, based on which FSC will allow them to enter the FSC system or reject their application.
To help me understand more, I’ve invited Saija Hotti, Program Manager for Operations and Development at FSC.
Title: Episode 59: The global perspective on EUDR, Getting granular on EUDR (episode 3 of 3)
Author(s): Worm, Loa Dalgaard
Description: This episode is 3 of 3 recorded live at the FSC event Wood you find it in Brussels on April 25th 2023.
At the event EU policymakers, NGOs, companies, voluntary sustainability standards, representatives from producing countries, EU Competent Authorities, the forest sector, and journalists met to learn, discover, debate and imagine together a world in which we know exactly where every piece of wood comes from.
The event was built around a brand new piece of EU legislation: the European deforestation regulation (EUDR). The focus was on how EUDR and its geo-location requirement can play a role in the wood sector taking into account the environmental, economic, social dimension of the matter, both in Europe and globally.
In this last episode we will be looking into what the legislation looks like from the other side of the table – from the producing countries who will need to support European buyers with their compliance to the legislation. We will be hearing from Alexandra Benjamin, FERN, Chantal Marijnissen, EU Commission, Gert van der Bijl, Solidaridad & Escipion Joaquin Oliveira Gomez, OACPS. And we will get closing remarks from Kim Carstensen, CEO of FSC.
