29\u00a0March 2018<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 BVRio, Landscape Indonesia and the Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation (IFCC) establish a partnership based on the mutual intention of pursuing sustainable forest management in Indonesia. Under the terms of the MoU, the three parties will work together to promote the use of\u00a0the Responsible Timber Exchange (RTX) in Indonesia, by including Indonesian responsible timber sellers and buyers in the platform and promoting their products\u00a0in the international market.<\/span><\/p>\n In November 2016,\u00a0Indonesia became the first country to fully achieve its VPA objectives\u00a0and be authorized to issue FLEGT licenses. Following on from this important achievement, it is necessary to support the timber industry to maintain their engagement with the\u00a0FLEGT Action Plan\u00a0and to attract more companies to it. An essential part of this process is to assist companies in promoting their timber products in international markets, ensuring that the sector is rewarded for their efforts in adopting legality and sustainability standards.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is where the newly formed partnership will play an essential role. BVRio Responsible Timber Exchange utilizes a wide range of e-commerce and digital marketing tools combined with direct engagement with timber traders in the EU, US and China. The RTX platform is already fully accessible in Bahasa Indonesia and provides a registration tutorial for Indonesian users, making it perfectly placed to\u00a0promote Indonesian responsible timber products in international markets. IFCC has been active since 2011\u00a0<\/span>promoting sustainability of forest enterprises and community forestry projects in Indonesia.\u00a0<\/span>Adding to this, while Landscape Indonesia has come to the market more recently (2016), it is gaining momentum and is now providing\u00a0advisory services on sustainable landscape management financing and development facilities.<\/span><\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BVRio, Landscape Indonesia and the Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation announce partnership\u00a0to expand the Responsible Timber Exchange in Indonesia \u00a0 29\u00a0March 2018\u00a0\u2013 BVRio, Landscape Indonesia and the Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation (IFCC) establish a partnership based on the mutual intention of pursuing sustainable forest management in Indonesia.
