NOTE FROM SFI For a better understanding of the management of the SFI Estate, including the measures to identify and protect areas with high conservation values, this “HCVF Assessment of Sabah Forest Industries (SFI)” report should be read in conjunction with the relevant forest management plans which are: 1. Forest Management Plan 2011-20 (FMP) which refers to the 104,822 ha of the Natural Forest Management (NFM) Licence Area. 2. Plantation Development Plan 2011-20 (PDP) which refers to the 171,471 ha of the Industrial Tree Plantation (ITP) Licence Area. 3. Plantation Development Plan for Titled Land 2011-20 (PDP-TL) which refers to the 11,845 ha of SFI’s Titled Land (See Figure 1 for the location of these areas) These plans give details of the legal framework including the legal minimum requirements for soil and water protection as required by the Sabah Forestry Department (SFD), the Sabah Environmental Protection Department (EPD) and the Sabah Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) together with descriptions of systems to identify and protect areas with conservation and social values. They also give details of the neighbouring communities and programmes to engage with them to foster mutual understanding and to explore ways of developing partnerships. It should also be noted that SFI has current certificates from the Rainforest Alliance confirming compliance with the Verified Legal Compliance (VLC) standard for the NFM Area and for existing plantations in the ITP Licence Area and the Titled Land and with the FSC Controlled Wood Standard for the NFM Area. Both these standards require compliance with applicable laws relating to environmental protection; wildlife, water and soil conservation; harvesting rules and practices; worker health and safety; and fairness to communities. In addition SFI holds compliance certificates from SFD for every year in the recent past. These are issued after audits by SFD staff themselves and by independent auditors using the Timber Legality Assurance System standards established by SFD in conjunction with other government agencies. After reviewing the draft of this HCVF Assessment of SFI report, SFI managers met with representatives of WWF Malaysia and looked at the actions that SFI should take to put into effect the Key Findings detailed in this report (see Section 8). These deliberations were recorded in a document entitled Key Findings and Management Actions by SFI to Protect High Conservation Values which is included as Appendix C to this report. These actions have now been incorporated in SFI’s Standard Operating Practices (SOP). The next step is to prepare a conservation management plan, in collaboration with stakeholders, which amongst other things, will outline a programme of actions, including research, to identify and protect conservation values and particularly high conservation values. It will take into account the findings of this report and its Peer Review conducted by the HCVF Resource Network. Sabah Forest Industries July, 2012 vi
