Meeting UK government requirements
As a private sector company, the UK Government's policy on timber procurement may not apply directly to you. However you may be required to comply with the policy if you are supplying a public sector buyer or are specifically required to do so.
Further information on the UK Government's timber procurement policy is available from the Central Point of Expertise on Timber Procurement (CPET), a service of the UK Government. CPET was set up by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and is operated by ProForest.
The Central Point of Expertise on Timber Procurement's (CPET) website provides detailed information and advice on how public sector buyers and their suppliers can meet the UK Government’s timber procurement policy requirements in practice. In addition, background information is available on how these practical solutions were developed, including the types of evidence that demonstrate legality and sustainability and the criteria for evaluating such evidence.
