EBI invites FSC to present their newest initiative: Yachting for Forests

In April, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) was invited to EBI Executive Committee to present their latest initiative to prevent deforestation in cooperation with the boating and yachting sector: Yachting for Forests.

The aim of the initiative is to encourage the boating industry to use sustainabily sourced wood for its different needs, focusing on teak and other timber. FSC sees the boating industry in a unique position, as it uses large volumes of the world´s finest hardwood timber species, making it a key player in the advancement and support of responsible forest sourcing. The choice of the sector will be crucial to set the path towards forest development.

EBI members, and manufacturers in particular, can have access to the FSC inspiration magazine and the procurement policy implementation guide. For this, please contact the EBI Office.
