SEMINAR | Sustainable Value Chains: From Due Diligence to Resilient Forest Management
Op 25 oktober 2024 - ,
We kindly invite you to this exclusive seminar, aimed at raising awareness among companies and other stakeholders about the critical importance of sustainable value chain management particularly in light of new regulations such as the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. We aim to provide a clear understanding of these legal requirements, foster discussions on how to effectively comply with them, and highlight the ongoing sustainability initiatives and best practices being implemented across various sectors throughout the entire value chain with a focus on timber.
