Companies using the High Carbon Stock Approach have committed to ensure that their own operations and those of their supply chains do not exploit indigenous peoples, local communities or workers.
Embedded in the High Carbon Stock Approach are 14 Social Requirements which are based on international human rights norms.
HCSA Social Requirements protect the rights of those who depend on tropical forests for food, shelter, energy, medicines and livelihoods
14 Social Requirements
Social Requirements apply to all proposed new developments and to any planned expansion of existing operations.
Companies are required to respect indigenous and traditional community rights through a mandated process of actions, including to give or withhold consent for development.
The objective is to produce an Integrated Conservation Land Use Plan (ICLUP) that makes clear who has what rights and responsibilities in each area of land and sets out plans to optimise conservation, livelihoods and commercial production while respecting the rights of affected communities.
