Otiss and our sustainability engagements

Ensuring that only part of the forest's resources are harvested, allowing the ecosystem to regenerate naturally and maintain its biodiversity.

Protecting and preserving the diverse species that depend on the forest ecosystem for survival. This may include setting aside areas as reserves or preserving habitats that are critical to certain species.

Planting new trees and restoring degraded areas to improve forest cover and ecosystem health. Afforestation involves planting trees in previously unforested areas, while reforestation restores previously forested areas.

We involve local communities, indigenous peoples and stakeholders in decision-making processes. Their traditional knowledge and insights can contribute to sustainable forest management practices.

(e.g. Forest Stewardship Council and FSC) that endorse responsible forest management practices.

We also invest in research to develop innovative approaches to sustainable forest management, such as advanced monitoring and conservation technologies.

Collaboration with government agencies and policy makers is crucial and something we hold in high esteem.

By applying these sustainable principles and practices, our vision can be translated into tangible actions that contribute to preserving forests for the benefit of both current and future generations.

Our mission of Otiss focuses on three key pillars:

* Environmentally friendly practices,
* Social benefits and
* Economic prosperity in the management of global forests.

This multifaceted approach recognizes the interconnectedness of environmental, social and economic factors in sustainable forest management.

This pillar emphasizes the importance of practices that do not harm the environment or contribute to deforestation. It may include strategies to reduce carbon emissions, preserve biodiversity and protect water resources. By prioritizing environmentally friendly practices, you contribute to the long-term health and resilience of forest ecosystems.

Ensuring that forest management benefits local communities and society as a whole is a crucial aspect. This may include measures to protect indigenous rights, involve local communities in decision-making and provide fair working conditions for those involved in forestry-related activities. A socially beneficial approach recognizes that forests often have cultural and historical significance to communities and the need to maintain their well-being.

Sustainable forest management must also take economic viability into account. This means finding ways to generate income and livelihoods without endangering the health of the forests. This may include responsible timber harvesting, ecotourism initiatives, non-timber forest products trade and much more. Economic prosperity from forests can support local economies and contribute to wider economic development.
