Efeca, as a knowledge partner of Compliance and Risk, recently collaborated with Edif ERA to host a webinar addressing crucial legislation and practical compliance strategies for natural materials and electronics. The webinar’s central theme was due diligence, emphasising the importance of transparency and robust reporting across sectors facing stringent regulatory pressures.
In today’s regulatory landscape, organisations are under increasing scrutiny to enhance their understanding of supply chains. This necessitates comprehensive due diligence practices to mitigate risks associated with sourcing natural materials and electronics. Efeca’s webinar provided deep insights into legislative frameworks governing paper and packaging sectors, notably including the US Lacey Act, EU Timber Regulation, and Australian Illegal Logging Prohibition Act and Regulation.
The US Lacey Act mandates due diligence to ensure legality in the sourcing of wood and paper products imported into the United States. Similarly, the EU Timber Regulation requires operators to exercise due diligence to prevent illegally harvested timber from entering the EU market. Meanwhile, Australia’s Illegal Logging Prohibition Act and Regulation impose stringent requirements on businesses to verify the legality of imported timber products.
Efeca’s webinar facilitated discussions on practical approaches to compliance, guiding participants on implementing effective due diligence measures tailored to their specific industry challenges. The session underscored the importance of transparency in supply chains, urging organisations to adopt proactive strategies for supplier verification and risk mitigation.
By collaborating with Edif ERA, Efeca reinforced its commitment to fostering compliance excellence and sustainable practices in sourcing natural materials and electronics. The webinar aimed to equip industry professionals with actionable insights and regulatory knowledge to navigate complex compliance landscapes successfully.
