This paper addresses the problem of public-owned forest resource allocation observed in Canada. An integrated approach for wood allocation to processing mills operating in a given region is proposed. The approach is based on mill abilities to create value, in terms of economic, environmental, and social benefits. It encompasses three steps: (1) election of sustainable allocation criteria, (2) evaluation of mill performance with regard to the allocation criteria, and (3) allocation of wood volumes according to mill performance. The approach is implemented as follows: first, the international standards, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), are used to identify relevant allocation criteria covering the three sustainability dimensions. Second, the Group-Analytic Hierarchy Process method (Group-AHP), a well-known multi-criteria decision making technique, is used to weigh the allocation criteria and evaluate mill sustainability performance. Finally, optimization models are formulated to allocate the wood following two strategies: (1) maximizing the overall created value by all mills, and (2) allocating the wood proportionally to mill performance. The numerical experiments conducted on a real case in the province of Quebec show that integrating sustainable criteria in the evaluation process has a significant impact on the allocation decisions. Lessons learned from this collaboration with the Ministry of Forests, Fauna and Parks (MFFP) in Québec are presented in order to help other interested researchers and public organizations develop their own roadmap to sustainable public resource allocation.--Résumé de l'éditeur.
