Principles of sustainable forest management
In line with our drive toward achievement of the Australian Forestry Standard, but equally transferable to any certification system, the Company developed some key principles in Sustainable Forest Management. These principles are the pillars that underpin our policies and procedures in relation to forest management.

Forest Operations
In 1998 Gunns' forest operations were certified to ISO 14001. Gunns was the first forest company in Australia to achieve this international recognition.

Processing Operations
The group's four export wood fibre processing facilities were certified in 1998. An extension of Gunns Environmental Management System was concluded in February 2004, certifying the company's six hardwood sawmills to ISO 14001. Gunns now has ten processing facilities and all its freehold and private property forest operations externally certified to the ISO 14001 standard, providing clear evidence of Gunns Limited's commitment to meet global standards of sustainability and environmental management.
