In 2015 Circle Advisory worked with the Albany Plantation Forestry Company Limited (APFL) and Albany Plantation Export Company (APEC) to design and conduct a significant stakeholder engagement program as a critical part of the companies maintaining their Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certifications.
Our team worked closely with APFL and APEC, to identify all relevant stakeholders, engage with them and understand their views regarding a proposed change to future consultations relating to High Conservation Values.
The program was designed to:
- Enhance existing consultation processes,
- Enable APFL and APEC to retain their FSC certification, and
- Reduce the consultation burden on stakeholders
