Working with Kingfisher and IKEA, the two year initiative of the three founding members, Kingfisher, Tetra Pak, and IKEA aims to develop a methodology to analyse the impact of FSC certification, enabling businesses to understand what value they derive from specifying FSC certified timber and paper through their procurement policies.
Dennis Jonson, president and chief executive of Tetra Pak said the food processing and packaging company’s packaging contains 70% paper derived from wood fibre.
“Certification is important to us as it gives us the opportunity to make sure that we source from responsibly managed forests. This, of course, requires a certification standard that lives up to its promises. As a long-standing supporter of FSC, we are proud to be one of the founding partners of this initiative.”
The initiative is supported by the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH) and coordinated by the International Social and Environmental Accreditation and Labelling Alliance (ISEAL).
