Archive by category 'Uncategorized'Andre de Freitas, Director General of FSC, has joined a panel of thought-leaders from paramount certification labels in a discussion set to define the agenda of ethical certification into the next decade. The panel will be featured at the first international conference on ethical certification entitled Certification, Consumption and Change in London on September 29th 2010.
As a sponsor of the event, the FSC will be inviting a delegation of fifteen individuals from companies and organizations that have been instrumental in promoting responsible forest management to attend the event. Many companies in the FSC delegation utilise the FSC label to ensure a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products. This label enables consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value.
Mr. de Freitas will be joined Rob Cameron (CEO, Fairtrade Labelling Organization), Bart Houlhan (Co-founder, B Corp) and Brendan May (UK Chairman, Rainforest Alliance) in a panel moderated by Dylan Tanner (CEO, Ekobai). Together, these experts will both identify opportunities for certifications to work synergistically as well chart the course for the development of certifications into the future.
