Network
For larger projects, multiple sites or assignments abroad I work with experienced auditors and specialists from forestry and the timber and paper industries. Through contacts with FSC, PEFC and RSPO groups, smaller companies and forest owners can join a group certificate – usually far cheaper than a certificate of their own.
