The forest industry is embracing more sustainable practices that protect people, biodiversity and our climate – and many companies have set goals to source from more sustainable forests. The challenge? Only 10% of the world’s forests are currently certified by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC). This webcast will cover the importance of sustainable forestry and how companies across the pulp and lumber industries are using their influence to increase the demand and supply of FSC®-certified forest products.
Among the topics:
- How to achieve sustainability goals when issues of supply are outside of your direct control
- Best practices for communicating the importance of certification schemes to suppliers
- Tips for educating and inspiring consumers to choose responsibly sourced items
- How to meaningfully contribute to NGO partnerships and collaborations that can drive continued progress
Moderator:
- Heather Clancy, Senior Vice President & Editorial Director, GreenBiz Group
Speakers:
- Ron Jarvis, Chief Sustainability Officer, The Home Depot
- Chris McLaren, Chief Marketing & Market Development Officer, Forest Stewardship Council US
