3 INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM FOR LEI-FSC CERTIFICATION INITIATIVES IN INDONESIA The Borneo Initiative With this publication of the public version of the 2011 annual report, The Borneo Initiative aims to inform a broader public about its work. The public version is fully based on the annual report, which has been externally audited and approved by KPMG. The Borneo Initiative is a foundation established in 2008, with offices in The Netherlands and Indonesia. Its mission is to prevent the loss of tropical forests due to deforestation and over-exploitation. Our target is to contribute directly to the increase of certified natural forest areas in Indonesia from 1 million hectares in 2008 to 4 million hectares by the end of 2013 and 5 million hectares by the end of The Borneo Initiative operates as a platform to forge partnerships between various organisations on the ground such as APHI, TFF, TFT, TNC and GFTN as well as with standard-setting bodies (such as FSC and LEI), government, forest concessions and overseas wood trading companies. The Borneo Initiative offers forest management units (i.e. forest concessions) a subsidy of 2 USD/ha. The concessionaire can use this grant to pay specific certification costs. Our primary focus is the Indonesian part of Borneo i.e. Kalimantan, but coverage may expand over time to include Malaysia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) as well. The Borneo Initiative links up players at either end of the marketing chain whose cooperation is required to make certification a success: wood suppliers in Indonesia and end users in Europe. Monitoring and evaluation The Borneo Initiative commissioned an external evaluation in March This evaluation revealed that TBI s work has gained broad acceptance and is valued by the Indonesian government and the forest concessionaires, as well as by the advisors and partner NGOs. We have therefore been advised to maintain the current approach. Looking back and ahead FSC certification in Indonesia is gaining ground. By the end of 2013 we will meet our first target: an extra 3 million ha of forests under FSC-certified management in Indonesia. Forest concessionaires expect sustained support. In view of this we have set ourselves a second goal of certifying another 5 million ha in , thereby increasing our total contribution to 8 million ha. All forests we support are natural forests. We prioritise those forest concessions that are important building blocks in the Heart of Borneo ecological network.

6 INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM FOR LEI-FSC CERTIFICATION INITIATIVES IN INDONESIA Market links Target year 2011: newly FSC-certified forest concessions will sell timber to partners of The Borneo Initiative in the Netherlands, EU and USA Status: a baseline measurement is planned early in 2012 Matching supply and demand FSC certification of forest concessions and wood is one aspect of the supply chain. The other is stimulating demand in a way that both are properly matched. Together with FSC NL we are streamlining core production data from our Indonesian partners to make these available to the Dutch timber sector. But our ambitions extend further, reaching out to markets in Europe and the US. In mid-june 2012 we will be hosting the Jakarta II trade seminar, where we expect major buyers from Europe and the USA to come and meet the forest concessions we support with FSC certification and their industries. Growing demand for FSC The Dutch economic slowdown has serious repercussions for the housing and construction sector, the principal wood user in the Dutch economy. Even so, effective demand for FSC wood products remains strong as markets are committed to sustainability, and we are being approached by an increasing number of companies. The main target groups for FSC-certified wood are the retail sector and the construction sector. The Borneo Initiative, together with FSC and IDH, is forging closer links with these sectors in the Netherlands and throughout the rest of Europe to ensure that supply and demand match. Next we plan to target the USA. Organisation The Borneo Initiative runs its activities from two offices, one in the Netherlands and the other in Indonesia.
