Green Practices Guideline for Forest Operation

3.2 TOWARDS GREEN RECOGNITION This guideline presents recommendations and proposed actions for the forest operation sector to implement green practices in their daily operations. It is driven by the vision of establishing a Green Certificate that recognises and rewards sustainable practices within the forest operation industry. To support the industry in implementing green practices, a comprehensive Green Certificate Roadmap has been developed specifically for forest operators. This roadmap serves as a strategic guide, assisting forest companies in adopting and implementing sustainable practices within their operations. It provides a structured approach to ensure that the industry is equipped with the necessary knowledge and resources to effectively integrate green practices. The long-term goal is to enable forest companies that have successfully implemented green and best practices to apply for the Green Certificate. This certification would serve as a formal recognition of their commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. As part of the proposed roadmap, forest companies meeting the eligibility criteria for the Green Certificate may also benefit from proposed financing incentives and support. By establishing the Green Certificate and associated benefits, the forest operation industry is encouraged to prioritize and embrace sustainable practices. This initiative not only acknowledges the efforts of forest companies in adopting green practices but also serves as a catalyst for knowledge sharing and collaboration across the sector. Ultimately, the Green Certificate aims to drive widespread adoption of sustainable practices, promote environmental protection, and contribute to the overall sustainability goals of the forest operation industry in Malaysia.
