Sicirec rating model
The model
Based on our 20 years of experience, we have developed our own rating model to assess forestry organisations.
This rating system gives us a good insight into the management and prospects of a business.
Our model assesses nine aspects of quality, grouped around two main themes: financial security and added ecological value.
In our rating model, the financial parameters (maximum score 54 points) are more important than the ecological parameters (maximum score 46 points). This is because financial continuity is essential to realise the ecological goals.
The rating analysis
In our rating analysis, the management, financing and ecological structure are also assessed to determine if they meet certain requirements.
If a forestry organisation scores well in all aspects, it implies that financial and ecological interests are properly tended to.
There are several aspects of quality which can individually prevent optimum wood yields from being actualised. Therefore the rating has been composed in such a way that each of these crucial variables, such as quality management and natural circumstances, can produce an insufficient end rating on their own.
We evaluate our rating method periodically and it is edited according to advancing insights and feedback from plantations and investors.
