Scotland Excel engaged Efeca to enhance their understanding of Category A and Category B certification, essential for compliance with the UK Government’s Timber Procurement Policy (TPP). Efeca delivered a bespoke webinar tailored for Scotland Excel’s key staff, focusing on the nuances of Category A (legally harvested timber) and Category B (timber from independently verified legal and sustainable sources) certifications.
During the webinar, Efeca provided comprehensive insights into the requirements of Category A and Category B certifications, clarifying how these align with the TPP’s guidelines. Key topics covered included the verification processes, legality criteria, sustainability standards, and the implications for procurement practices within the public sector.
Following the webinar, Efeca continued to support Scotland Excel through ongoing consultations and assistance during contract tender discussions. This included addressing specific queries, providing additional resources, and offering expert advice to ensure Scotland Excel could confidently navigate and comply with TPP requirements in their procurement processes.
Efeca’s engagement with Scotland Excel highlights its commitment to promoting sustainable procurement practices and compliance with regulatory frameworks in the timber industry. By equipping Scotland Excel with tailored knowledge and practical support, Efeca facilitated informed decision-making and strengthened the organisation’s capability to uphold high standards of timber sourcing integrity.
