UPM Forestal Oriental - Social and Enviromental Report 2014

Human Resources

In order to improve our efficiency le- vels, the quality of our activities and the development of skills in the communi- ties affected, the company has focused on the long-term development of our service providers. This is done by implementing syste- matic controls according to our quality standards, favouring self-governance in central issues such as medium and long-term planning and developing specific skills for the tasks carried out. All forestry activities are currently con- tracted out, as are some of the nursery, timber extraction and harvesting activi- ties. The company has practical guides and human resources tools to ensure the proper management of people and com- pliance with legal requirements in terms of employment standards, working conditions and safety. For this, the com- pany has monitoring systems that are applied both to its own staff and its hired staff. UPM Forestal Oriental understands that the development of people and their skills forms the basis for conti- nuous improvement, for adding value to our processes and for being economica- lly viable and socially beneficial in the long-term. This is why courses, work- shops and lectures are held throughout the year in order to train staff in the various areas of competence. As part of our development pro- gramme, the case study method was implemented at the Forest Academy from 2014 onwards. This new version seeks to ensure that we can generate new learning by analysing situations or real events that have taken place at the company. The purpose is to learn from the mistakes made and to identify op- portunities for improvement that can be implemented in the different company processes.

UPM Forestal Oriental seeks to make a positive impact on the society in which it operates and to contribute toward developing human resources in the area. In order to carry out all activities in a competitive manner, UPM Forestal Oriental has its own staff and contracted staff.
