Timber presence
The Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN), WWF’s initiative to eliminate illegal logging and drive improvements in forest management, will be at the Timber Expo, Ricoh Arena in Coventry on the 27th and 28th of September.
At its interactive multi-display booth (stand 01-B1 at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry), visitors can meet GFTN staff and members from around the world who will showcase and talk about their personal experience with responsible forestry and trade management.
George White, head of GFTN, said: “GFTN’s success over the past two decades has been built on working closely with industry on a common agenda that aims to drive responsibly sourced forest products. We hope the Expo allows us to build on this success as we face the challenge of bringing responsible forest trade into the mainstream around the world.”
George White will speak at the ‘Timber Talk’ seminar session 1, on Wednesday, 28th September 2011, from 9.30am to 10.45am in the Timber Talk Seminar Theatre on the subject: ‘Do we need suppliers or supply chain partners to secure the sustainable supply? Are we willing to pay more to get more?’
The Timber Talk seminar sessions will run for one hour each plus a facilitated Q&A session, and are free for anyone to attend without booking in advance.
