National Agreement on Legal Wood
We are part of “The National Agreement on Legal Timber” since its launch in 2015. It’s an initiative launched by the Peruvian Government in partnership with NGOs with the leadership of WWF (World Wildlife Fund), the forest producers, the private company, the indigenous organizations, finance and civil society, aimed to increase the trade for legal wood, aligning the visions of the actors that are related directly to the productive chain of timber forest products (public and private) for the sake of achieving a legal and sustainable forest sector.
In our supply sources we identify two groups for the purchasing that are:
GROUP A: Purchasing of Certified Timber
- Certified Forests
- Controlled Forest Wood
GROUP B: Purchase of Non-certified Wood With 100% verifications in the SIGO (Osinfor Management Information System). This is an online tool that OSINFOR (Forest and Wildlife Resources Supervision Organization) places at the public service in its page www.osinfor.gob.pe, from which three sub-groups emerge:
- Green - Wood without Risk for the purchase of legal wood determined in accordance with POA and Zafra. Qualified Wood for the purchase.
- Red - Wood with Risk for the purchase of legal wood determined in accordance with POA and Zafra. No -qualified Wood for the purchase.
- The qualifications that are not included in the SIGO - Observatory OSINFOR If they have supporting documentation that they comply with all their forest obligations, among others, it comes with the purchase, knowing the supplier, verifying the traceability and legality from origin.
