永續森林經營發生的二三事...FSC 森林經營準則的實務整備(C 4.4)From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for FSC Forest Management Criteria(C 4.4)

關於FSC FM的標準,其10項原則與70項準則,是屬全球性通用的。因此國、公、私有林經營者,在申請FSC FM驗證的預審或年審時,可以考慮以下資料來源的整備與其他因素,以備驗證。

Criterion 4.4. The Organization shall implement additional activities, through engagement with local communities that contribute to their social and economic development, proportionate to the scale, intensity and socio-economic impact of its management activities.

準則4.4. 組織應依據經營活動之規模、強度與社會經濟影響,透過當地社區參與,落實有助於其社會和經濟均衡發展之附加活動。 

一、可能資料來源的整備:

1.     有關於組織對當地社區社會和經濟發展的承諾文件,例如,組織的ESG報告書、社區發展計畫書等。

2.     組織在社區發展活動中的實際做法,例如:有否與當地社區進行溝通協商,是否尊重當地社區的文化傳統和習俗?

3.     確認社區居民對組織所提供額外活動的知曉度和參與度,以及他們對組織在促進當地社會和經濟發展方面的看法。

二、 其他因素:

1.     組織在當年度對於當地社區經濟發展和社區繁榮的貢獻,例如:計畫編訂之預算數及實施成果。組織在內部稽核或檢驗時,可以如下操作:分析組織的年度計畫和預算文件; 訪談組織員工和當地社區成員,了解他們對組織在促進當地社區經濟發展和社區繁榮方面的看法; 收集和分析組織在促進當地社區經濟發展和社區繁榮方面的數據和信息,例如:就業率、收入、基礎設施建設等。

2.     與當地社區居民進行溝通協商時,應確保代表性:與不同社區成員(年齡、性別、社會群體)互動,以了解他們對組織在促進當地社會和經濟發展方面的看法。

3.   組織在內部稽核或檢驗時,可以如下操作: 組織員工與當地社區居民進行溝通協商的記錄;組織是否採取措施,確保不同群體都能參與其中。

Regarding the FSC FM standard, its 10 principles and 70 criteria are globally applicable. Therefore, forest management operators in the public, private, and governmental sectors, when applying for FSC FM verification during pre-assessment or annual audits, can consider the following sources of information and other factors for preparation: 

Criterion 4.4. The Organization shall implement additional activities, through engagement with local communities that contribute to their social and economic development, proportionate to the scale, intensity, and socio-economic impact of its management activities. 

Possible sources of information for preparation:

1. Commitment documents regarding the organization's contributions to the social and economic development of local communities, such as the organization's ESG report (if available), community development plans, etc.

2. The organization's actual practices in community development activities, such as: whether there has been communication and negotiation with local communities, whether respect has been shown for local cultural traditions and customs.

3. Confirmation of the awareness and participation of community residents in the additional activities provided by the organization, as well as their views on the organization's promotion of local social and economic development. 

Other factors to consider:                         

1. The organization's contributions to local community economic development and community prosperity in the current year, such as: budgeting and implementation results of planned activities.
