Incorporating technology solutions
This event builds on our 2017 PEFC Stakeholder Dialogue: Making Certification SMART – a dialogue that explored the benefits and potential for incorporating technology solutions into forest certification.

In continuing the momentum of re-imagining how forest certification should re-equip for the next decade, we will discuss, in-depth, the application of technology in case studies from Myanmar and Laos in two separate sessions.

Tech giants help FSC tackle big challenges

The Forest Stewardship Council is bringing together some of the most innovative technology companies in the world to help bring cutting-edge solutions to familiar problems. You would be forgiven for not thinking of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) when you think of groundbreaking technology. Our concerns tend toward the analog: trees, soil, wildlife, human beings. However, since March of 2022, FSC has convened a group of the world’s most advanced technology companies to find cutting-edge solutions to the challenges FSC faces – problems like how to root out fraud in supply chains, or help smallholders compete in global markets, to name a few. The group, called the FSC Technology Consortium, meets monthly. Convening virtually to include leaders from around the world, each meeting has an FSC topic expert share an industry problem. The group then considers possible solutions and the role information technology might play in achieving them.
