STTC Conference: Sustainably managed forests as part of the solution to climate change
The annual European Sustainable Tropical Timber Coalition (STTC) Conference, Thursday November 18 2021, Online
The European timber sector requires a combination of actions to combat illegal tropical timber trade and deforestation and to ensure sustainability. These actions would lead to strengthened cooperation and partnership between the public and the private sector, and demand and supply-side stakeholders. Further demand-side legislation is needed to ensure that EU commodity supply chains are deforestation-free and that EU consumption is transparently sustainable.
LIFE Legal Wood Nationale EUTR Workshops
LIFE Legal Wood lanceert online workshops om professionals in de houtbranche en detailhandel te informeren over de EUTR
Handelt u in hout of houtproducten op de EU-markt, of gebruikt u het als grondstof in producten die door u in de EU worden verkocht? Ook al is het maar een klein item, zoals een houten fotolijstje of een papieren etiket, de Europese Houtverordening (EUTR) kan in veel van die gevallen ook op u van toepassing zijn. Om alle belanghebbenden en bedrijven die onder de EUTR vallen bij te staan, organiseerde het LIFE Legal Wood project een reeks webinars om betrokkenen vertrouwd te maken met de vereisten van de EUTR.
Conference: Exploring pathways to verified sustainable tropical timber
The 6th annual European Sustainable Tropical Timber Coalition (STTC) Conference, Wednesday November 20 2019, Berlin (Germany)
The European timber sector has focused on both ensuring its sources of supply are legal and on growing market share for verified sustainable tropical wood. The Sustainable Tropical Timber Coalition 2019 Conference looks at how these dual efforts can interrelate to increase verified sustainable timber supply and demand and how STTC tools can support the process.
Conference: Sustainably sourced tropical timber
Reliable data is today the key to unlocking market share in any business, and the market for verified sustainable timber is no exception. That is the stepping off point for this year’s annual European Sustainable Tropical Timber Coalition Conference in Paris on October 25, which is why it takes market intelligence, its collection and analysis as its core theme.

Conference: Sustainably sourced tropical timber – selling a positive story
For too long the European tropical timber trade has been on the defensive. An automatic link has been forged in consumers’ and specifiers’ minds between tropical timber, illegal logging and deforestation in many countries. This has combined with lack of awareness of the availability of sustainably sourced timber from well-managed tropical forests and the overall result is that the reputation and market success of all tropical timber has suffered.
Conference: Real impact through timber purchasing policies
The 2016 European Sustainable Tropical Timber Coalition (STTC) Conference is your opportunity to discuss challenges, share knowledge and best practice with colleagues from across Europe on successfully implementing and satisfying timber purchasing policies. It is also the event to network with buyers and suppliers of sustainably sourced timber.
Timber purchasing policies and strategies support forest conservation worldwide and the STTC Conference explores their achievements so far and future potential with key stakeholders from public and private sectors. The full-day event also offers learning and networking opportunities, with interactive plenaries and breakout sessions.
