Vineri 16 Ianuarie, Agent Green va intalni in Viena, Austria conducerea firmei Holzindustrie Schweighofer.
Obiectivul intalnirii este de a explora cele mai bune practici pentru companiile care doresc sa refuze copaci din arii naturale protejate. In urma investigatiei Agent Green, Gerald Schweighofer, presedintele Schweighofer Group a declarat:
“Politica noastra este clara. Refuzam copaci extrasi din arii naturale protejate. Stim ca ei sunt parte din habitate cheie, esentiale pentru conservarea a mii de specii care pot fi adapostite doar in asemenea arii. Ramane totusi o provocare pentru noi sa ne respectam angajamentul, deoarece permisele de recoltare (APV) din parcuri nationale nu sunt informatii publice. Avem nevoie de Agent Green si de Ministerul Mediului si Padurilor sa creeze de urgenta un mecanism care sa ne permita sa fim autentici in etica pe care ne-o asumam”.

Friday 16 January, Agent Green will meet in Vienna, Austria with the Holzindustrie Schweighofer company management. The objective of the meeting is to explore best practices for companies to refuse trees from protected natural areas. Following the Agent Green investigation, Gerald Schweighofer CEO of Schweighofer Group declared:
“Our policy is to refuse trees extracted from natural parks. We know that they represent a key habitat for the conservation of thousands of species that can only be sheltered in such places. However it is challenging to keep our commitment since the current harvesting permits (APV) for the national parks are not public information. We call on Agent Green and the Environmental Ministry to create the leverage needed to enable us to be genuine in our ethical policies”.
