Audit Guidelines and Framework

Robust Audit Guidelines and Verification Framework tailored for Man-Made Cellulosic Fibre (MMCF) producers

These resources developed by Canopy are designed to help MMCF producers and their partners across the supply chain — from wood harvesting to retail — identify, manage, and reduce risks of sourcing from Ancient and Endangered Forests.

What you’ll find in these resources:

  • Ancient and Endangered Forest Risk Assessment Verification Process.
  • A practical tool to support learning, improvement, and risk management across the MMCF supply chain.
  • Key Performance Indicators to assess conformance and identify areas for improvement.
  • Clear, credible standards, and criteria for a Third-Party Verification Audit.
  • Recommendations for producers and suppliers to implement strategies to protect Ancient and Endangered Forests and eliminate controversial sources from supply chains.

Who these resources are for:

  • MMCF producers seeking to demonstrate responsible sourcing practices.
  • Brands, retailers, and designers implementing MMCF sourcing policies.
  • Supply chain partners committed to environmental stewardship and market integrity.
