Forestry Brussels 210415 Combating illegal logging
• FLEGT VPAs enable legality and SFM • Laws against illegal wood can level the playing field • Companies’ due diligence can reduce the market for illegal timber considerably – Mobilise all businesses! • Technology improves the performance of authorities and companies’ DDS • Cooperation is the key
Forestry Brussels 210415 However...
• No FLEGT licensed wood so far • Uneven implementation of the EUTR • EUTR is difficult to implement for companies and hard to enforce for authorities (DDS). • Companies have not been mobilised fully (Especially not SMEs) • Becoming a barrier to trade • Investment in technology is needed
Forestry Brussels 210415 Demand Side Laws on Legality of Wood
• EU Timber Regulation • US Lacey Act • Australia • Switzerland • Japan

Forestry Brussels 210415 Forestry Brussels 210415 Role of certification • IKEA considers the legal due diligence systems in certification best practice • Control points are in the right place. In the forest or where the wood leaves the forest • IKEA due diligence integrates both FSC and PEFC approaches to ensure legality
Forestry Brussels 210415 FSC and traceability • FSC Chain of Custody does not mean physical traceability • Considerably reduces the risk of unwanted wood entering the supply chain • One up – one down.

Forestry Brussels 210415 20 Focus! Forms of Illegal logging in the Russian Far East
• Outright timber theft by wildcat logging brigades (becoming less common)
• “Illegal logging with paperwork” is now more popular:
• Overlogging on timber leases or logging of high-grade in place of low- grade material
• Abuse of “Intermediate” and “sanitary” logging
• Export of stolen timber under the “mask” of timber lease documents
