The FSC Amazon Business Encounter 2024 is 4th edition in a series of events that FSC organises to support sustainable trade within the tropical timber value chain. Other examples are the FSC Asia Business Encounter, the Carrefour du Bois (Nantes) Business Encounter and the FSC Amazon Business Encounter 2023. The concept of the business encounter brings together professionals along the tropical timber value chain and gives the opportunity to discuss global supply chain challenges, whilst building and maintaining relationships between supplier and buyers.
The first FSC Amazon Business Encounter was held in 2023 in Belem, Brazil. During this event FSC gathered 130 different stakeholders of the Amazonian wood supply chain. This year the event is hosted again and will cover a range of important topics, including: •
- FSC Aligned Certification for EUDR
- Developments around exporting regulations: CITES implementation Brazil
- Tropical timber market update
- Business Matchmaking Session
- ...
