Overview: World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is one of the world's largest non-governmental, non-profit conservation organisations. WWF recognises the increasingly important role that business, financial institutions and governments have in shaping and implementing sustainability policies through their purchasing and investment power. When establishing a purchasing policy a step-wise approach can be used to gradually achieve a long-term goal of sourcing wood products from responsible sources. The steps can include entry thresholds (known origin, legal sources, not from high conservation value forests (HCVFs) or protected areas unless certified), a transition level and a final level of sourcing from well-managed, credibly certified sources.
