This discussion paper explores the potential for addressing conflict in the forest sector through the use of company-led tools and mechanisms... The paper offers examples of tools and approaches that are being employed by companies and non-industry players working closely with companies to address conflict-related issues. These include efforts by Aracruz Cellulose in Brazil to build dialogue with local indigenous groups in order to address a long-running dispute over land rights; the experience of APRIL in Indonesia in developing a land dispute resolution protocol based on the principles of FPIC; and the corporate strategies and tools employed by major companies such as Stora Enso, Mondi [part of Anglo American] and Weyerhaueser.
