Credibility is central to delivering real positive change and is fundamental in mitigating risk for business. That is why we not only work with the most credible systems, but invest in improving them. We are equally committed to making these trusted systems accessible for businesses.
Peter has been instrumental in leading Preferred by Nature’s support for supply chain actors in responsible sourcing and sustainability implementation. His expertise is extensive in areas such as data handling, traceability, claims management, and communication, particularly within sustainability systems. Peter has supported innovative approaches on making these frameworks accessible to smallholders, employing risk-based approaches, and enhancing the credibility of certification schemes. Peter's deep understanding of policy implementation challenges including the EU Deforestation Regulation makes him a crucial voice in discussions aimed at strengthening the foundational elements that enable enterprises to amplify their environmental impacts.
His experience and thought-leadership has positioned him as a respected voice within the forest certification arena.
