Forest certification

The Company has achieved certification of all the areas under its own management (commercial plantations and native reserves) in Espírito Santo and Bahia under the Brazilian Forest Certification Program (CERFLOR). The areas located in Minas Gerais were audited and have been recommended for certification. At the end of 2005 the process was undergoing a public hearings phase.

Moreover, all its own lands in Rio Grande do Sul (commercial plantations and native reserves), already certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), were audited by the Bureau Veritas Quality International (BVQI) and recommended for CERFLOR certification.

CERFLOR obtained recognition on the part of the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC). Besides CERFLOR and the forest certification systems of a number of European countries, the PEFC has already recognized systems in the United States, Canada, Chile and Australia and has become the largest system in the world in terms of certified areas.
