What is Sector Roadmap?Background

• Help sectors articulate a common vision and tangible actions how an industry can maximize its potential to contribute to the SDG agenda.

• Freely available guidelines which can be applied to any sector/sub-sector at a global or regional level.

• Concise overview of key processes complemented by useful tools and frameworks.

• Piloted by Chemical Sector. Launch of Chemical Sector SDG Roadmap at HLFP in New York in July 2018.

SDG Sector Roadmap GuidelinesBackground

• Map SDG impacts across

the value chain

• Prioritize SDGs for the

sector

• Identify key opportunities to

impact the SDGs

• Assess sector apportionment

• Identify enablers and impact

accelerators

• Identify short-, medium- and long-

term actions to advance SDG

impact opportunities

• Call for collaboration

• Monitor, measure and report

progress

• Led by Forest Solutions Group and supported by WBCSD’s SDG Team.

• A number of face to face meetings and workshops held over 12 months.

• Supported by conference calls with companies individually and collectively throughout the process.

• Informed through stakeholder interviews and consultation with a dozen key stakeholders.

• Process supported by ERM.

About the RoadmapForest Sector SDG Roadmap

Roadmap objectives

Articulates a joint vision with respect to the most impactful contributions the forest sector can make through process, product and partnership innovation and provides attainable pathways to help realize and achieve the ambitions that are set out within the SDGs.

Describes the sector’s current level of alignment with the SDGs and identifies key Impact Opportunities for the most material SDG goals and targets, while recognizing the interconnections between them. It outlines tangible actions that the forest sector can take globally and regionally to catalyze lasting impact in the run up to 2030 and beyond.

It aims to provide a clear and transparent narrative to customers and consumers of forest products and wider stakeholder groups (such as NGOs, industry associations and governments) on the sector’s most significant contributions to attaining the SDGs.

Customers and ConsumersSeeks to inspire and foster collaboration throughout the value chain and stimulate cross-sectoral cooperation to amplify SDG impact.

PartnersThe Roadmap is for forest sector companies to help guide, inform and influence decision-making and actions within their business.

External researchLiterature review and other external information

• Company insight and external research clearly aligned on SDGs 6, 8, 13 and 15 with respect to sector’s interaction and role to contribute

• Companies also identified SDGs 4, 7, 9, 11, 12 and 17 as relevant to the sector’s potential to contribute to the SDGs.

• Sector specific literature and data sources emphasized SDGs 1, 2, 3 and 5 as relevant to the sector.

• These SDGs were then further assessed by level of current impact (negative and positive) and potential to contribute to the SDGs.

With a view to better understand different perspectives on how the sector interacts with the SDGs and to identify where contributions could be most meaningful and impactful, various sources of information were reviewed and analyzed, including company insight and external sources.

o Group 2 to review Tier 2 SDGs

• Revisit level of Positive and Negative impacts (with help of “Cheat-Sheets”)

Please do note that:

• Level of contribution to the SDGs should not change (no vertical moves)

• Positive and negative impact per SDG does not need to be equal (Mirror image!)

Reminder - Why we are doing this? • Misleading original matrix• Matrix is a key visual of the final Roadmap to acknowledge negative impacts and the

significance of negative impact, which stakeholders expect to be expressed more honestly!

Proposed WBCSD bioeconomy definition

Bioeconomy describes the sustainable production and utilization of

biological renewable resources and aims at complementing or

substituting existing fossil-based and non-renewable materials to

support a shift to a circular, low-carbon economy that meets society's

current and future needs for food, goods and energy

Bioeconomy and Circular Economy concepts have largely been developed separately, and need to be connected to reinforce each other

The Circular Economy is an economic model that is

regenerative by design. The goal is to retain the

value of the circulating resources, products, parts

and materials by creating a system with innovative

business models that allow for long life, optimal

(re)use, renewability, refurbishment,

remanufacturing and recycling. By applying these

principles, companies can collaborate to design out

waste, increase resource productivity and maintain

resource use within planetary boundaries

A bioeconomy offers the possibility to substitute

fossil-based, non-renewable and non-biodegradable

materials with renewable, bio-based and often

biodegradable solutions, that in many cases also

offer new innovative functions that circularity alone

cannot offer

Definitions often focus only on production and

utilization of biological resources, therefore the

inputs and beginning of the value chain

Bioeconomy Circular Economy

Bioeconomy can help to establish an economy that is less

dependent on non-renewable resources, more easily

circular, recyclable and less polluting, thus being an enabler for the Circular

Economy

Circular Economy can help to make the bioeconomy more

resource efficient and restorative in nature

• Use of renewable, biological materials

as biomass to create products and

services

• These can be circulated through for

example recycling and/or are bio-

degradable

• Therefore, the nutrients are returned

to the soil at the end of their lifetime

Current biological part of

Circular Economy

• Substitution of current fossil-fuel

based, non-renewable materials

through innovation and the

development of new types of materials

• The developed materials are optimally

circular itself as they can be circulated

through e.g. recycling and/or are

biodegradable at the end of their

lifetime

Future substitution of

non-renewable materials

• Incineration of biofuels as energy

source releases the materials &

nutrients into the biosphere

• As materials can not be circulated and

are also not returned to the soil, this

part of the bioeconomy is considered

non-circular

support fossil-fuel materials

through e.g. subsidies

Lack of supportive policies

for bioeconomy

due to required research &

development

Input materials with higher

general costs

Technology not offering low

cost opportunities yet

of some bio-based products

already exist, but
