Risk of sourcing from Ancient & Endangered forests
After engaging in dialogue with Canopy for the first time in 2019, Acegreen adopted and made public its Wood and Pulp Sourcing Policy. The company has shared its supplier list with Canopy and is currently undergoing its first CanopyStyle Audit.
Key Improvements Required
- Complete the audit process followed by the joint publication of the audit report.
- Prioritize the integration and sourcing of Next Generation Solution technologies and feedstocks for future expansion plans and new suppliers. At a minimum, continue use of ForestMapper and complementary guidance documents such as the advice note of Ancient and Endangered Forests and the Dissolving Pulp Classification to ensure no sourcing from Ancient and Endangered Forests.
- Accelerate the use of Next Generation fibre solutions in order to meet or exceed the targets set out in the Next Generation Vision for Viscose: 20% by 2021, and 50% by 2030.
- Where virgin fibres are used, and they are not coming from key priority Ancient and Endangered Forests, procure higher volumes of FSC 100% certified inputs from sources that have achieved FSC Forest Management certification on the ground.
Areas where the company is showing leadership
After adopting a Wood and Pulp Sourcing Policy in late 2019, the company has shared its supplier list with Canopy and has now embarked on its first CanopyStyle Audit.
