Through its global-to-local, on the ground presence throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas, GFTN is continuing to have a profound impact across the entire forest products supply chain, from titans of industry to community forests.
This year, GFTN continued to extend the reach of responsible forestry and trade, securing strategic commitments from a number of globally significant companies from the technology, pulp and paper, cork and flooring sectors.
In November, the GFTN expanded its network to include a new presence in Laos, partnering with The Forest Trust (TFT) to form the Lao Forest and Trade Platform. This collaboration combines the strengths of the GFTN's global reach with TFT's hands-on support on the ground,providing an opportunity to transform the Lao forestry sector into a leader in supplying responsible forest products to the global marketplace.
