Ta Ann Tasmania

Despite the changing political landscape Ta Ann continues to honour its commitment to the principles of the Market Compact with the eNGOs.

​

The facts are that Ta Ann:

​

• Does not harvest forests

• Cannot use large size logs from old growth forests in its processes

• Only accepts logs from forests authorised for harvest by the Australian and Tasmanian Governments and based on the previously signed 2013 Tasmanian Forest Agreement between forest industry bodies and leading eNGOs, - the Australian Conservation Foundation, The Wilderness Society and Environment Tasmania

• Has explicit clauses to this effect in wood supply contracts with the State Government-owned Sustainable Timber Tasmania

 

This strong commitment earned Ta Ann Chain of Custody certification for our Tasmanian eucalypt veneer under the Australian Forestry Standard and the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC).
