Sustainable Procurement of Wood and Paper-Based Products: Version 3

The WRI/WBCSD guide serves as an information support tool for procurement managers to address sustainability, legality, and social implications in wood and paper supply chains.

• The guide identifies 10 key issues for procurement managers to address when developing policies for wood and paper-based products: origin, information accuracy, legality, sustainability, protection of special forests, climate change, environmental protection, appropriate use of recycled fiber, appropriate use of other resources, and the needs of local communities and indigenous peoples.
• Version 3 of the guide has been updated to include current developments regarding the legality of forest products, technological advancements for increasing supply chain transparency and control, and an expanded section on social implications.
