Parceria com WWF Suíça
SIG’s goal is to invest to create, restore, protect, or improve management of more thriving forests than it takes to make its products. Through our partnership with WWF Switzerland and Forests Forward, we are supporting projects on the ground that improve the sustainability, biodiversity, and resilience of forests.
WWF Suíça
WWF is the world’s leading independent conservation organization, on a mission to create a world where people and wildlife can thrive together.
WWF has a long history of working to protect forests. Our partnership enables us to work together to deliver targeted support for at-risk forests in biodiversity hotspots and deforestation fronts. These projects will help forests thrive, together with the wildlife and people who depend on them.
Nossos projetos de parceria florestal
Improving forest landscapes in Mexico
The Central Pacific Landscape is home to some of Mexico’s richest nature. The area and its biodiversity are increasingly threatened by land use change and degradation linked to expansion of agricultural and livestock production. Our project will improve the management of 100,000 hectares of forest and restore 750 hectares of forest, creating habitat corridors for jaguars.
Protecting biodiversity in Malaysia
The Ulu Muda Forest Complex in Malaysia consists of nearly 164,000 hectares of abundant forest across eight connecting forest reserves as well as an ecological corridor. It contains one of the last remaining large intact lowland forests in the world and home to a huge diversity of plant and animal species. We aim to improve the landscape management of over 170,000 hectares of forest (including a critical ecological corridor) and pilot the restoration of 25 hectares of degraded forest in the landscape.
WWF Forests Forward (Florestas Avançadas)
In 2022 SIG joined Forests Forward, a signature WWF program for corporate action in support of nature, climate, and people. As well as investing in forest landscapes through Forests Forward, SIG has committed to ambitious goals on the responsible sourcing of forest-based material and to working with suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders to strengthen the packaging industry's commitment to sustainable forest management. Strong, collective private-sector action is crucial to halting and reversing forest loss and degradation globally.
