Port Blakely NZ Essential Oils acquires FSC CertificationFriday 13 Sep 2024
Port Blakely New Zealand Essential Oils (PBNZEO), a global leader in sustainable essential oil production, is among the first essential oil producers worldwide to attain the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) certification. This milestone validates the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship and recognizes its sustainable practices for customers who maintain chain-of-custody. Internationally recognized as the gold standard of forest management certification, FSC® is an international non-governmental organisation that promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world's forests. FSC® ensures that forest growers adhere to strict standards, including paying living wages, maintaining at least 10% of ground area for native forest regeneration, and zero deforestation. PBNZEO’s parent company, Port Blakely has forests that have been FSC® certified in New Zealand for over 20 years and is advancing this initiative in alternative forest products. This certification adds to PBNZEO’s BioGro Organic certification, where the conversion period finished in early 2024. “Alongside our Organic certification, this accreditation represents a significant achievement in PBNZEO’s commitment to producing a Douglas-fir oil the market can trust,” said Mitch Cooke, Business Manager at PBNZEO. "It validates the high standards and values practised by our company, and we are excited to lead the charge in bringing a new standard of the highest quality and responsible product to the conifer oil market.” Cooke added, “This achievement strengthens our market position as the leader in environmentally responsible Douglas-fir essential oil production. We now have external validation that we offer products that meet the extremely high standards of quality and ecological integrity that are important to our customers at a scale which provides an accessible price point for this unique essential oil.” More >> Source & image credit: PBNZEO | ||
