What are the challenges for your wood and timber products?
- Environmental and social concerns are increasingly strong, particularly linked to global warming and deforestation.
- The need for traceability and transparency increases in the supply chains of wood and timber products, up to the origin and identification of the forests used.
- Regulatory pressure on companies is increasing (EUTR then EUDR, corporate due diligence, environmental claims, etc.).
- Independent verification of methods and processes is enhanced by the use of system standards.
- Due diligence (collection, risk analysis, risk reduction) becomes an exercise imposed by clients, standards or regulations.
Mastering your purchasing policy for wood and timber products means mastering risk management in your supply chains (sourcing).
