SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Social Responsibility Agreement

Act 547(section 3E, section 20), LI 2254, section 11(D) provide the legal framework for the implementation of the SRA. Timber and wood processing industries are required to pay 5% of stumpage to beneficiary communities which are all within a 5km radius of our operational areas.
Samartex was already making such payments to fringe communities before the implementation of a more formalised and streamlined social responsibility agreement in 2004.
