摘要

The Sustainable Biomass Partnership (SBP) standard is designed to "address gaps" in existing forest certification schemes, according to the group's executive director Peter Wilson. But at the same time SBP did not want to reinvent the wheel. “We borrowed heavily from FSC and PEFC programmes and we are working with these schemes and key stakeholders — we are not here to compete.”
