Capital Offence: Is London Failing the Forests

Summary Information:

This is the third in a series of surveys, conducted by WWF every four years, on the responsible purchasing of forest products by Local Authorities in the UK. The latest survey was conducted online, and focuses on the procurement of forest products, both timber and paper, by the 33 London boroughs, as well as the Greater London Authority (GLA) and Association of London Government (ALG). WWF sought information on the actual purchasing practice of councils, such as tender specification and the use of forest certification systems, but did not ask them to quantify their actual consumption of forest products since few, if any, would have been able to supply such details.
