In a related matter our SBP (Sustainable Biomass Program) approval is reliant on our FSC accreditation status; therefore, SBP was forced to suspend us from engaging new SBP clients in Russia from 6 January 2017 to 19 April 2017. As a result of the publication of the outcome of the ASI arbitration process, SBP has deleted the suspension decision from its records.
