PARTNER PROFILE: ACE UK

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

In September 2010, ACE UK and Earthwatch met to discuss our shared interest in sustainable packaging and well-managed forests. In order to help bring together policymakers, NGOs, and companies that depend on forest products, Earthwatch has chaired a number of policy roundtables organized by ACE UK, which have raised awareness of the benefits of responsibly managed commercial forestry and explored the role of forest certification. We welcomed the opportunity to work with ACE UK members and their suppliers to ensure that the forests from which they source raw materials are responsibly managed and to improve knowledge and commitment to act on environmental issues.

Through partnerships with organizations like ACE UK, we can reach out to consumers, helping them to better understand how their choice of product or supplier can impact the environment, and giving them an opportunity to make a difference. We look forward to exploring how our relationship with ACE UK can make a lasting difference to forests and communities worldwide.
