永續森林經營發生的二三事...PEFC 森林經營準則的實務整備(C 6.2 & I 6.2.8)。From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for PEFC Forest Management Criteria (C6.2 & I 6.2.8).

PEFC（Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification，森林驗證認可計畫）與FSC (Forest Stewardship Council，森林經營委員會)，同為全球兩大森林驗證系統。全球林業經營者，在追求森林的永續經營上，所採用的經營標準內容，有否差異呢?我們將瞭解PEFC的驗證框架之原則與準則內容，及如何準備PEFC驗證的要求。

6.2 Management plan 經營計畫

6.2.8 The publicly available summary of the management plan may exclude confidential business and personal information and other information made confidential by applicable legislation or for the protection of cultural sites or sensitive natural resource features.

6.2.8經營計畫的公開摘要可以排除商業機密和個人資訊以及其他根據適用法律或用於保護文化遺址或敏感自然資源特徵而被保密的資訊。

可能資料的整備：

       組織在公開經營計畫摘要時，可以對某些敏感資訊進行保密。這項規定考量到了商業競爭、個人隱私以及對特殊生態環境的保護。

因此組織應準備以下資料：

1.        列出經營計畫中可能包含的敏感資訊，例如:商業機密--如特定造林技術、成本數據等。個人資訊--如員工個人資料、合作夥伴的聯絡方式等。法律保密資訊--依據相關法律規定需保密的資訊。文化遺址資訊--涉及到當地文化遺址的詳細座標或保護措施。敏感生態資訊--如瀕危物種的棲息地等。每項敏感資訊，組織需提供合理的保密理由。

2.        組織應說明採取了哪些措施來保護這些敏感資訊，例如：限制存取權限、加密敏感資料、簽署保密協議等。

3.        在編製摘要時，應將所有敏感資訊刪除或用籠統的語言描述，以確保摘要的內容仍然能夠清晰地傳達經營計畫的主要目標和原則。

PEFC and FSC are the two biggest names in forest certification. So, what's the difference between these two systems? Are they asking forest managers to do completely different things to get certified? Let's dive into PEFC and see what it takes to get certified:

6.2 Management plan

6.2.8 The publicly available summary of the management plan may exclude confidential business and personal information and other information made confidential by applicable legislation or for the protection of cultural sites or sensitive natural resource features.

Preparation of possible information:

       Organizations may keep certain sensitive information confidential when disclosing a summary of their business plan. This requirement takes into account business competition, personal privacy, and the protection of special ecological environments.

        Therefore, the organization should prepare the following materials:

1.        List the sensitive information that may be included in the management plan, e.g., trade secrets - such as specific afforestation technology, cost data, etc. Personal information - e.g. employee profile, contact details of partners, etc. Legal Confidential Information - Information that is required to be kept confidential in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. Cultural site information - relates to detailed coordinates or conservation measures of local cultural sites. Sensitive ecological information - such as habitats of endangered species, etc. For each sensitive piece of information, the organization is required to provide a reasonable reason for confidentiality.

2.        Organizations should explain what measures are in place to protect this sensitive information, such as restricting access, encrypting sensitive data, signing non-disclosure agreements, etc.

3.     When preparing the summary, all sensitive information should be removed or described in general language to ensure that the content of the summary still clearly communicates the main objectives and principles of the management plan.
