- Analyse in depth the today’s situation with the participation of involved NGO’s like WWF, Proforest or BOS (Save the Orang-Utans) and the producing and supply chain industries.
- Present and discus some of the possible verification and audit instruments which can help to create a more sustainable production and supply chain management and
