Participants learnt what the requirements of the EUTR are and how they had been implemented and enforced so far, they also gain an understanding of due diligence and how to use NEPCon’s tools to conduct your own. Guest speakers were also present to give different perspectives and experiences. The afternoon session involved an interactive session using NEPCon’s new Sourcing Hub and the risk assessments and tools available on it to investigate and discuss various sourcing scenarios across a series of themes.

This workshop was conducted as part of the joint project ‘Supporting Legal Timber Trade’ aimed at supporting timber-related companies in Europe with knowledge, tools and training in the requirements of the EU Timber Regulation. Knowing your timber’s origin is not only good for the forests, but good for business. The joint project was funded by the EU LIFE programme and UK aid from the UK government.
