Interholco, a Danzer subsidiary, is fully cooperating by providing complete documentation of legality of these logs to the customers so that they, as operators, can prove legality to the authorities. Interholco meanwhile, has asked Greenpeace to bring forward their evidence so that Interholco can investigate the matter.
Through regular audits, Interholco is working with SGS and NEPCon, both reputable auditing bodies, to continually improve its due diligence system. A due diligence system, as required by the EUTR, is a system of mitigating risk by taking necessary and reasonable action to prevent harm. The log supplier SIFORCO has been legality verified since 2009 and the due diligence system of Interholco recently passed the NEPCon Legal Source audit. Danzer will evaluate any evidence provided by Greenpeace.
Danzer comprises wood processing companies specialized in the manufacture of decorative real wooden surfaces and sawn timber from high-quality hardwoods.
