For over six years, Efeca has been a trusted advisor to Kingfisher Group plc, Europe’s largest DIY Group, providing expert guidance on various timber compliance issues. Our collaboration has focused on supporting Kingfisher in data verification, ensuring compliance with international policies, and staying updated on certification schemes relevant to their operations.
Efeca’s role has encompassed conducting thorough assessments and providing tailored solutions to help Kingfisher meet regulatory requirements, particularly under the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR). This includes assisting with the verification of timber sourcing data, ensuring it meets legal standards and aligns with sustainable practices. Our team has also delivered customised training sessions to key personnel within Kingfisher’s operating companies, enhancing their understanding of EUTR obligations and equipping them with the necessary tools to achieve compliance.
Through our partnership, Efeca has helped Kingfisher Group plc and its suppliers navigate complexities in the timber supply chain, facilitating the identification and implementation of necessary changes to ensure full compliance with regulatory frameworks. This proactive approach not only ensures adherence to legal requirements but also promotes sustainable sourcing practices across Kingfisher’s extensive operations.
Efeca’s expertise extends beyond compliance to include strategic advice on developing robust compliance strategies tailored to Kingfisher’s specific needs. By staying abreast of evolving regulations and certification standards, we enable Kingfisher to maintain a leadership position in sustainable timber sourcing within the DIY retail sector.
Our commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship underscores every aspect of our partnership with Kingfisher Group plc. We continue to support their journey towards responsible timber procurement practices, fostering transparency and accountability throughout their supply chain.
