It is correct that we are not FSC certified anymore. This is because we are joining a new dual FSC and Fairtrade certification scheme later this (September/October) and we do not want to go through an expensive audit now when we need to be re-audited in the Autumn under the new scheme.
We are still very much so committed to FSC
I have cleared this with your CSR manager Claus Teilmann Petersen [ctpe@pandora.net] in HQ
This does not affect the FSC status of your current stock of wood beads and as I understand it from some of your colleagues, you will not have much need for wood beads going forward, it should not make a big difference for you.
Should the need for more FSC certified wood beads arise, then I would be happy to look into a quick reinstatement of our FSC certification.
You can always buy more wood beads from us, but we just won’t for the time being claim FSC CoC on the products we send you.
I will be happy to look into NCR 01/14 for you. I am not sure what the problem is but I will find out and come back.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or things I can help you with.
