    Non-GHG air pollutants (C2.4)

    Non-GHG air pollutants (tonnes) by type:

    • Particulate matter (PM2.5 and/or PM10);
    • Nitrogen oxides (NO2, NO and NO3);
    • Volatile organic compounds (VOC or NMVOC);
    • Sulphur oxides (SO2, SO, SO3, SOX); and
    • Ammonia (NH3).

    Additional pollutants to report under the core global disclosure metric include:

    • Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).

    From the list of pollutants under the core global disclosure metric, an organisation should particularly look to include particulate matter from the combustion of wood fuel from the production stage; and sulphur and nitrogen oxides, particulate matter and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from processing and manufacturing.

    OBJECTIVE 10. FIRE RESILIENCE AND AWARENESS

    Performance Measure 10.1 On the forests they own or manage, Certified Organizations shall limit susceptibility to undesirable impacts of wildfire, promote healthy and resilient forest conditions through management techniques, actions and/or policies, and support restoration of forests following wildfire damage.

    Indicator 1. Program to evaluate the risk of undesirable impacts of wildfire and the role of fire on the forests they own or manage.

    Indicator 2. Use of stand and landscape level management techniques, actions and/or policies to promote forest health and resilience, and to mitigate the likelihood of undesirable impacts of wildfire, such as, prescribed fire, cultural burning, thinning, or hazardous fuel reduction where appropriate based on risk.

    Indicator 3. Use of management techniques to address wildfire damage, mitigate negative impacts to water and soils, and to promote forest restoration and future forest resilience.
