Denmaur Paper Media announcement regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Paper Solutions

Both FSC and PEFC have recently declared timber and timber derived products (including paper and pulp) from Russia and Belarus as 'Conflict Timber' and therefore non certified.

This affects any harvested Russian and Belarusian forestry (that will go on to be processed as a timber/timber derived product) ordered from 2 March 2022 for PEFC, and for all shipments received on and after 8 April 2022 for FSC.

The timber, pulp, paper and board products sourced from Russian and Belarusian forestry regions before the above dates will remain certified.

Denmaur will no longer purchase any paper and board products that have been manufactured in Russia and Belarus, nor purchase any paper and board products that have been manufactured using pulp sourced from Russian or Belarusian forestry categorised as Conflict Timber.

The company has conducted a due diligence procedure with all of its manufacturing suppliers to ensure they have taken actions necessary to prevent any Conflict Timber from entering their supply chains.

Denmaur will continue to monitor the situation and advise as and when there are any updates.
