West
Chilcotin Forest Products Ltd. is proud to be registered
to
Management System ISO 14001:1996 SIC code 0859, 2411, 0811
The International Standards Organization (ISO) 14001
series of international environmental management system
standards provide organizations around the world with guidance
on how to manage the environmental aspects of their activities,
products, and services effectively. The ISO 14001 standard
maps out the core requirements for an Environmental Operation.
By using these standards, an organization may plan, monitor
and continually improve its competitive position and environmental
performance. The CSA's Sustainable Forest Management System
Standard represents a new era in forest management and accountability.
Voluntary registration of a Defined Forest Area to Can/CSA
shows the world that the area is being managed according
to sustainable forest management principles and criteria.
Registration to this national standard is a very large undertaking
for any forest management operation. Being registered means
the organization has engaged in a rigorous public participation
process and has established and maintained a management
system to continually improve their forest management performance
towards sustainable forest management criteria.
The ISO standard is applicable to West Chilcotin Forest
Products Ltd.'s woodlands operations department and
Yun Ka Whu'ten Holdings Ltd.'s field operations department.
The Environmental Management System helps us to achieve
sound environmental performance by assessing and controlling
potential impacts to the environment.
We are very proud to be a part of this strict management
process!
