We, Xuzhou Xinshidai Wood Co., Ltd and Pioneer Wood (Lao) Import-Export Sole Co., Ltd. are care about to stop the degradation of the earth’s natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. We would work together with our partners to develop and run our business in a sustainable way. As a responsible wood product producer, we COMMIT to removing deforestation and forest degradation from our production, trade and finance. More specifically, we commit to eliminating unacceptable sources and progressively increasing the proportion of credibly certified sustainable sources. Our target is: By 2026, the percentage of our FSC certified products will maintain more than 50% are FSC certified both in China and in Laos, while keep the rest at least traceable, illegal, and deforestation free.

1.In relation to timber-based forest products, unacceptable sources are defined as the following.
• Illegally harvested wood (illegal timber);
• Wood harvested in violation of traditional and civil rights (conflict timber);
• Wood harvested in forests in which High Conservation Values are threatened by management activities (HCV timber);
• Wood harvested in forests being converted to plantations or non-forest use (conversion timber);
• Wood from forests in which genetically modified trees are planted (GMO timber);
• Wood for which the location of harvest is unknown (unknown timber).

2. We will ACT on these commitments through the delivery of clear, measurable, time-bound targets.
To promote transparency, foster accountability and enable collective impact, we will make publicly available Action Plans and Annual Progress Reports through the Forests Forward Impact Portal.

3. We will COLLABORATE across – and beyond – the community of practice, to co-design collaborative solutions to address the drivers of forest loss and degradation. This includes (but is not limited to):
• Advocating for enabling policy and other conditions to enhance the business case for forest conservation, restoration and sustainable management.
• Mobilising finance at a meaningful scale to support transformational interventions in priority forest landscapes.
• Strengthening the capacity of smallholder producers in sustainable management practices and providing appropriate incentives, including preferential market access.
• Ensuring our solutions and interventions to halt and revers forest loss uphold the rights and aspirations of local and indigenous communities.
