This recorded webinar introduces practical guidance for companies sourcing pulp, paper, and fibre-based packaging (PPP) materials. It outlines how to apply the CGF Forest Positive Coalition’s PPP Deforestation- and Conversion-Free (DCF) Methodology to make credible claims and strengthen action across complex and diverse supply chains.
In this session, you will:
- Learn how to apply the PPP DCF methodology to assess traceability, identify deforestation risks, and classify volumes as DCF using certification, low-risk sourcing, or supplier control mechanisms.
- Understand traceability expectations across virgin and recycled fibre supply chains—where traceability to the country of harvest is standard, and sub-national traceability may be required in higher-risk sourcing areas.
- Explore what buyers can expect from suppliers in terms of self-reporting, certification claims, and complementary actions to manage non-DCF volumes.
- Gain clarity on how DCF implementation pathways (Options A–E) are applied in the PPP sector, including the use of FSC, PEFC, and SFI certifications, and what additional information may be required.
- Share input on the support needed to engage more effectively with suppliers, improve data transparency, and strengthen the credibility of DCF reporting.
The webinar also explores how companies can address non-DCF volumes—through traceability improvements, risk mitigation efforts, and investment in priority sourcing landscapes—while reinforcing the coalition’s forest positive strategy.
Watch the session to align your organisation with the PPP DCF Methodology and scale credible, forest-positive action in your fibre-based packaging supply chains.
