“It was great to have in-person exchange and dialogue with FSC-UK. We are very grateful to have this opportunity and hope to continue this direct exchange in the future so we can jointly help certificate-holders and TDUK members prepare for their upcoming ventures,” Xiao Ma, TDUK
The workshop provided explanation and discussion of the FSC system, how it works and relates to the UK Timber Regulation (UKTR) and what the auditors will look for in both systems.
The workshop was aimed for anyone wishing to improve their understanding on FSC and UKTR and to also prepare importer members of the TDUK ahead of their annual audit on UKTR (RPP). The workshop was delivered by staff members from FSC UK and an auditor from the Soil Association.
“This event was a great reminder of the value of face-to-face meetings. There will always be a place for online meetings now but it was so good to be able to hear first-hand the experiences, challenges and questions from certificate holders and other stakeholders in person. We also appreciated the willingness of the participants to throw themselves into the activities with such enthusiasm!” Rosie Teasdale, FSC UK
