Additionally, IWPA has partnered with the World Resources Institute, utilizing U.S. Agency for International Development funding, to create a Wood Trade Compliance Training and Due Diligence Tools course that provides compliance professionals from all segments of the wood products supply chain with a comprehensive analysis of legality requirements as well as strategies and resources to help them meet both legal and regulatory requirements as well as their customers’ needs. Please reach out to the IWPA team if you are interested in being connected with wood products companies that can help your business earn the ACP credit under this new pilot. IW
