*Samling's Path to FSC Certification Hindered by Complaints from Local Communities Regarding Lack of Consultation*
Pertaining to Samling's sustainable certification, it is important to note that Samling holds logging licenses from the Sarawak government.
There are two types of licenses granted to Samling. The first type is issued by the state government, allowing Samling to log trees in various locations. The second type is the sustainable certificate required for exporting timber to other countries.
Samling has been operating under the Malaysian Timber Certification Council (MTCC), which is not recognized in other countries. International buyers typically prefer timber from companies with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. Samling is currently seeking FSC certification.
However, concerns have been raised by local communities regarding a lack of consultation during a research study conducted by certain individuals. Furthermore, the consultations were held with individuals who are not from the affected communities. These actions are considered violations according to FSC regulations. As a result, Samling's application for FSC certification is still pending, and ongoing investigations are being conducted into the complaints raised by the communities of Long Moh, Sian, and Ba Adang.
