DBI seeks stakeholder evaluation of wood procurement

Drax Biomass Inc. (DBI) is committed to implementing and maintaining conformance with the Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) and the Forest Stewardship Council.  As part of that commitment, DBI is undertaking an evaluation concerning risks associated with the procurement of wood fibre. Part of this process is to solicit and address relevant stakeholder comments.

DBI is seeking comments from stakeholders addressing risks associated with the SBP Standard 1: Feedstock Compliance Standard principles and criteria that were identified for more evaluation and the results of our latest FSC risk assessment.  Please be specific with feedback. Reference instances during forest management activities where concern for negative impact is relevant, cite sources and indicate the applicable region.

In addition, DBI will undergo SBP certification audit for La Salle BioEnergy and regular sustainability systems surveillance audits of existing facilities in August 2017.

Comments can be submitted via survey monkey during the period spanning June 20, 2017 through July 18, 2017.
