“Better understanding global timber supply chains should be a motor for positive change, not a sterile and overwhelming task. If we do trade complex consumer goods through complex supply chains, it is our responsibility to ensure that the systems we use match this level of complexity. Regulatory compliance as well as meaningful sustainability commitments can only be achieved with greater clarity and transparency on the conditions of production and the routes of timber products. Digital technology is available: let’s make the most of it where it is useful.”
