Legality
Strengthen due diligence and help reduce legal and sourcing risks.
Market Access
Support businesses in responding to evolving buyer expectations and market requirements.
Our Work in Action
Responsible Timber Supply Chain Pilot
CTWPDA is testing the due diligence framework with companies involved in the import, distribution, processing and export of African hardwood.
The pilot helps assess how the framework works in real business settings and uses practical feedback to improve its applicability and implementation.
