SUSTAINABLE PLANTATION FOREST MANAGEMENT (SPFM) SYSTEM

1. Introduction This Sustainable Plantation Forest Management System document is derived from LEI Standard 5000 regarding Sustainable Production Forest Management (SNFPM) System Frame. Several other documents related to the SPFM certification implementation - as explained in LEI Guide 30 Series, Technical Document LEI-03, and LEI-04 - refers to this document.

2. Scope This standard is the SPFM certification assessment frame and as the reference for management units in implementing SPFM.

3. Reference a) LEI Standard 5000, Sustainable Production Forest Management (SNFPM) System Frame b) LEI Guide 99, Sustainable Production Forest Management (SNFPM) Certification System c) Tropenbos : Hierarchical Framework for the Formulation of Sustainable Forest Management Standards d) International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) Guidelines for the Establishment and Sustainable Management of Planted Tropical Forest e) The International Organization for Standardization (ISO): Standard 14000 Series f)

Sustainable Plantation Forest Management Certification System

4. Definition The definition of terms related to SPFM system is formulated from the general and technical term definition of forestry. The definitions are use as reference in this standard. They are as follows: 4.1

Production Function Sustainability is the assurance of the sustainability of forest products utilization and forest business flow.

4.2

Resource Sustainability is the assurance of confidence and security of plant forest areas to provide long-term business certainty.

4.3

Forest Product Sustainability is the sustainability and/or increase of production from time to time due to the increase in forest management performance in accordance to the environmental subsistence in one unit of management unit sustainability.

4.4

Business Sustainability is the ability of a management unit in managing plant forest to create profit within the limitation of forest subsistence.

4.5

Ecological/Environmental Function Sustainability is one of the dimensions of the sustainable forest management product that ensures long-term livelihood of the ecosystem function and its components (abiotic and biotic).

4.6

Land and Water Quality Sustainability is the ability of land within the area of a plant forest management unit in producing an optimal and sustainable amount of timber/non timber and contributes to the sustainability of the water course function of the river banks in the area.

4.7

Natural Diversity Sustainability is the perseverance of the existence and function of the biotic component of forest ecosystem, such as: plasma, main plants, supporting plants, and plants that are beneficial to the community in supporting plant forest activities in the long run.

4.8

Social Economy and Cultural Function Sustainability is one dimension of Sustainable Plantation forest management that ensures the social welfare and integration through access guarantee and community control variables toward forest resources, community control over plant forest business effects, and harmonious labor relations between the management unit and the workers.

LEI Standard 5000-2

LEI Standard 5000-2

Sustainable Plantation Forest Management Certification System

Organizational Structuring is part of the institutional structuring aiming to determine

4.21

decision-making procedure that ensures the implementation of management aspects in line with Sustainable Plantation forest management principles. Human Resource Improvement is part of the institutional structuring aiming to improve

4.22

the quality of labor in relation with its function as managers of the plant forest management. Financial Management is part of the institutional structuring that ensures cost allocations

4.23

for resource reinvestment to support the business sustainability.

5. Criteria and Indicators of the Sustainable Plantation Forest Management Sustainable Plantation Forest Management can be implemented if the outcome (result aspect) can be achieved through a set of strategy and appropriate management activities (management aspect). In every plant forest management activities, there are many processes or factors to be involved to achieve the intended management goal. Those factors require a classification based on its position in the management. In relation to SPFM assessment frame, the position-based classifications are: a)

Compulsory Requirement is all process or factors to be fulfilled before other process are executed.

Core Activity is all process or factors that must be done in a management environment.

Adequacy Requirement is all process or factors that supports the achievement of a management goal.

The SPFM achievement indicator is formulated through an assessment frame matrix as shown in Table 1.
