Gunns’ 130 year heritage gives the Company a keen appreciation of Tasmania’s unique natural resources and the need to protect and support them. The Tasmanian community also sets high standards for the preservation and sustainable development of these resources, with more than 40% of its area protected in National Parks, World Heritage Areas and other reserves.

The Company’s Environmental Management System is externally certified to ISO 14001 – the international benchmark for world’s best practice in environmental management. Gunns has also been accredited as complying with the Australian Forestry Standard (AFS). The AFS has recently been recognised internationally under the PEFC – a stringent international certification system for forest management practices.

Gunns manages over 100,000 hectares of privately held plantation including approximately 10,000 hectares on a joint venture basis with its customers. Through investment programs like GPL’s Woodlot Project the Company is advancing confidently towards expanding the plantation resource needed to sustain its long-term needs.
