The Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) has today launched two public consultations: the draft REDIII Level A Risk Assessment for Denmark Forest and the proposed revisions to the Regional Risk Assessment (RRA) for Denmark Forest. Stakeholder input is critical to ensuring the continued rigour and relevance of SBP’s risk-based approach to biomass sustainability certification.
Public Consultation on the REDIII Level A Risk Assessment for Denmark Forest
In preparation for recognition under Directive (EU) 2023/2413 (REDIII), SBP is developing a series of country-specific REDIII Level A Risk Assessments. These documents will support Biomass Producers in implementing management systems that ensure compliance with the updated REDIII sustainability criteria.
The REDIII Level A Risk Assessment for Denmark Forest will replace the existing Annex 6 REDII Level A Risk Assessment included in the Regional Risk Assessment for Denmark Forest.
SBP invites all interested stakeholders to review the draft document and submit feedback via the Feedback Platform. The consultation is open until Friday, 30 May 2025.
Public Consultation on Revisions to the Regional Risk Assessment for Denmark Forest
SBP is also seeking feedback on proposed updates to the Regional Risk Assessment (RRA) for Denmark Forest (v2.0, published July 2024). The revisions – undertaken in line with the SBP Regional Risk Assessment Procedure (v2.0, published February 2025) – include administrative improvements to eight specified risk indicators, as well as rapid revisions to two indicators (1.1.1 and 2.2.2), where the risk designation has changed from specified risk to low risk.
The proposed changes are intended to ensure that Certificate Holders are supported by accurate, robust, and up-to-date risk assessments in implementing effective mitigation measures.
Stakeholders are invited to review the revision report and submit their feedback via the Feedback Platform. The consultation is open until Friday, 30 May 2025.
