Areas where the company is showing leadership

  • Publish CanopyStyle policy and list of suppliers on website. 
  • Complete a CanopyStyle Audit to verify suppliers and confirm risk of sourcing from Ancient and Endangered Forests and other controversial sources. 
  • Use ForestMapper and complementary guidance documents to ensure that all current and any new suppliers are not sourcing from Ancient and Endangered Forests. 
  • Following audit, DP Acetate can address any sourcing issues that are identified and progress on remaining sustainability steps, such as supporting conservation solutions and driving the use of Next Generation fibres.
