Работни срещи за оценка и смекчаване на риска по Регламента за дървесина през 2019 г.

The regulation requires those businesses (operators) first placing a product on the market to complete due diligence that concludes negligible risk of illegally harvested timber entering the supply chain. This includes carrying out a risk assessment and where appropriate completing mitigating measures that reduce any identified risk to negligible. 

A series of workshops specifically on Risk Assessment and Mitigation were held in the fourth quarter of 2018. Venues and dates for the upcoming workshops planned in early 2019 are shown in the calendar below. It will be updated when new events are confirmed. 

NEPCon is proud to assist OPSS with half of the workshops, with our Senior Responsible Sourcing Specialists delivering presentations and facilitating discussions. During the workshops, participants will be given information that would be used during discussions of risk mitigation options for various supply chain scenarios.  

Workshops will run in a friendly, stress-free atmosphere, and participants are encouraged to join with open minds. There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions as the primary aim is to provide a space for the industry to enhance understanding and gain knowledge that they need to meet the requirements of the regulation.  

The workshops are being run in conjunction with various trade associations. Membership is not required to join the workshops, they are open to all.   

Buffet lunch and refreshments are provided, please inform at registration if you have any dietary requirements. Kindly also inform if you have any accessibility requirements.
