Tackling the challenge: How to make informed choices on forest products?

December 4, 2014

Tackling the challenge: How to make informed choices on forest products?

Sustainably sourced forest products are critical in eliminating deforestation from global supply chains, increasing transparency in the market place and incentivizing sustainable forest management. Together with the World Resources Institute, the WBCSD Forest Solutions Group refreshed some key sections of the Sustainable Procurement Guide for wood- and paper-based products. This year’s revisions focused predominantly on the chapters about the use of fresh & recycled fiber, protection of unique forest values and climate, with emphasis on REDD+, forest carbon accounting systems and markets.

The guide is a toolbox designed to help corporate managers make informed choices, understand the challenges and find the best advice on how to purchase forest-based products from sustainable sources - be it paper or packaging, wood for construction, or furniture.

Within the context of the growing determination to eliminate deforestation from supply chains, this guide constitutes a helpful resource kit for companies to establish a clear procurement policy and implement concrete measures.
