Bad Honnef, 26.11.2021. After a first event in spring 2021 (more info), more than 100 representatives of companies from different countries and all parts of the wood industry have now participated in a new English-language online workshop on ISO 38200 "Supply chain of wood and wood-based products". The globally valid industry standard regulates the transfer of product information, e.g. on wood origin or legality, across international supply chains.
In the joint online event of several wood industry associations, information was provided and discussed about the contents, procedures and opportunities of the standard. Representatives from the pulp and paper industry as well as the wood-based panel and furniture industry reported on their experiences in short presentations. There was also a presentation on auditing the new ISO 38200 CoC, which dealt with the effort required for implementation and synergies with other ISO standards. The aim of the event was to promote awareness and dissemination of this neutral standard, as well as to demonstrate to companies the opportunities this standard offers for corporate sustainability reporting.
All presentations of the event are available for download below.
The survey on the application and further development of ISO 38.200 will run until 20.12.2021. We would like to invite you to participate via the following link: Link to the online questionnaire
