Key Improvements Required

  • Undergo first Canopystyle Audit in 2023-24 and publish results.
  • Prioritize the integration and sourcing of Next Generation Solution technologies and feedstocks for future expansion plans and new suppliers, and accelerate their use in order to meet or exceed the aspirational targets outlined in the Next Generation Vision for Viscose: 50% by 2030.
  • Use ForestMapper and complementary guidance documents such as the Dissolving Pulp Mill Classification to ensure no sourcing from Ancient and Endangered Forests.
  • Where virgin fibres are unavoidable 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

The company proactively reached out to Canopy, adopted a procurement policyand has done an audit training with Canopy to prepare for the audit.
