Carnstone has been in business for close to 20 years. During that time, we have become one of the biggest independent consultancies focusing exclusively on sustainability, with a deliberately low profile. In this report we talk about some the work that has kept us busy and made us proud.
Lobbying is a widespread part of political processes and – when done responsibly – can lead to more stakeholder engagement in democratic government and therefore better policy outcomes. We believe that responsible organisations will wish to sign up to robust standards to justify society’s trust in the matter and have helped create a framework to that effect.
The Accountability Framework Initiative (AFi) announced a case study on how the Book Chain Project has applied the AFi methodology to assess paper mills' forest sourcing practices, in our Mill Assessment Framework.
Results of the 2020 Carnstone Forest Risk Tool are in. The tool assesses forest and transhipment risks in global timber supply chains for 186 countries, and is a core part of our work with the Book Chain Project.
