WWF Group-2000
In December of 1996, WWF-Spain held its first seminar on forest certification in Madrid.
Various forest industries, retailers, timber importers, universities and many from the
WWF network were in attendence. The seminar was based on a WWF-Belgium project, funded
by the European commission, which highlighted the promotion of sustainable forests
management and certification in timber producing countires of West and Central Africa.
Following this seminar in 1997, WWF-Spain carried out an introduction workshop on FSC
certification, to companies from the wood sector, to introduce them to the FSC process
and the demand for certified products.
Due to this work developed by WWF-Spain, and the growing demand from customers on
companies for certified products, the WWF-Group 2000 was formed in January of 1998.
The three companies that formed the WWF-Group 2000 are LUVIPOL, LAMINADOS BASAŅEZ and
BOSQUES NATURALES. In July 1998, another 5 have joined the group; IMFYE and 4 companies
which compose the LOSAN GROUP. In September of this year, at least three other
companies are expected to join.
The companies which make up the WWF-Group 2000 are very diverse, ranging from solid
door manufactures to noble wood plantations. The geographic location of these companies
is broad and is distributed along several Spanish Autonomous Regions which have influence
on the promotion of certification throughout the national territory.
The main aspects of the agreement signed by the WWF-Group 2000 members are:
- To support, both nationally and internationally, the forest certification
system according to FSC standards.
- To substitute the commercialization of wood which comes from forests
that are not certified and then to certify wood according to the FSC criteria.
- To develop an action plan to achieve these goals.
- To attend periodical meetings and develop a newsletter.
- To deliver progress reports every six months to WWF-Spain.
During the Groups second meeting on 29th June, a logotype was approved which will
identify the WWF-Group 2000.
