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

What you’ll find in these resources:

- 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.
