The Canopy Wood code of conduct aims for high forestry, ethical and environmental standards in the supply chain of wood prodcuts from suppliers and out to the consumer. All products bearing the CW logo must adhere to the following code of ethics and forest managers must promote the same high standards in their supply chains. The code of conduct below is based on internationally recognised standards set out by NGOs around the world as well as the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and local laws.

Below is a brief description of the elements included in the Canopy Wood code of conduct. For the complete description, please download the complete Canopy Wood^_TM code of conduct on this page.

Excellent practises might not always be available in an imperfect world. Where there is room for improvement consumers can rest assured that the producers and operators under Canopy Wood^TM will always try to influence local execution towards good and decent practises.

RPI is a small company trying to make a difference. While the concept will never be perfect we will continuously improve the policies as well as the execution of these policies. It is our hope and ambition that we, over time, hopefully can grow and become a significant factor in sustainable and responsible forestry, worker’s rights and corporate ethics as well as rainforest protection.
