Successful protection of our environment relies on public and private partnership. I have a keen interest in advancing sustainable practices through market-based incentives, such as the FSC certification scheme. I am excited about joining the Preferred by Nature team and being able to contribute to strengthening sustainability in production along the supply chains.
