We’re happy to share the new market-related guidance for Ecosystem Services Procedure (FSC-PRO-30-006 V2): Guidance on Market Use and Communication of Ecosystem Services Impacts (FSC-GUI-30-006b). 

 

Who is this relevant for? 

This resource was developed to guide sponsors and forest managers seeking to communicate about the ecosystem services (ES) projects including its use in promotions, disclosure reporting, marketing campaigns, and optimizing the sustainability of forest value chains.  

 

Here’s what you’ll find inside: 

  • Case studies and market applications of forest ecosystem services 

  • A step-by-step approach to developing an ES claim, with examples and templates 

  • Alignment of global sustainability frameworks to ES impacts – including the UN SDGs, UN GBF, GRI, SBTN, CDP, ISSB, and TNFD 

  • Practical help for sponsors and forest managers to connect and price ES impacts 

  • Guidance on applying the mitigation hierarchy and highlighting procurement policies 

 

We are hopeful this guidance document will inspire your next steps in ecosystem services work and make collaboration across projects even more meaningful. 

If you’d like to discuss how this guidance could support your initiatives, we’d be happy to arrange a short call. Please contact Ecosystem Services in Canada.
