Risk of sourcing from Ancient and Endangered Forests

Audit Required

Areas where the company is showing leadership

Hubei Golden Ring engaged with Canopy in late 2023; the company participated in a CanopyStyle Audit training in 2023 and contacted auditing firms. In 2024, the company adopted a CanopyStyle policy but has not shared this publicly on any forum.

Key Improvements Required

  • Publish CanopyStyle policy and list of suppliers on website
  • Conduct 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 auditing, Golden Ring Hubei can then 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.

Facilities

Golden Ring Hubei produces viscose filament yarn in its one mill located in Xingyang, Hubei Province, China, at a capacity of 150,000 tonnes per year.
