Another point of focus is COC & COP Open Consultation where EJC said, with the CoC and COP both open for consultation, we’re asking all relevant stakeholders to provide their feedback on the proposed changes. We have launched a full review of our COP Standard (comment period: 8th April – 7th June) and the round 3 public consultation for the Chain of Custody (CoC) Standard (comment period: 11th April – 13th May).
We are specifically requesting feedback on a new proposed definition of recycled materials and it is crucial for you to engage in this consultation process now since the next full Standards review cycle is expected in five years’ time, in line with ISEAL compliance. By participating now, you can contribute to the direction of our Standards and address not just current requirements but make provisions for the future too.
Your feedback helps to keep our Standards robust, relevant, and fit-for-purpose. If you would rather provide feedback verbally rather than fill out the form, you can join one of our roundtable discussions. Invitations will go out this week, and the sessions have been scheduled to accommodate different time zones.
