LIVING OUR VALUES
Values repOrt 2009
the 8 remaining non-fsC articles in our line up ordered in 2008 were all diffusers. these are all either seasonal or due to be
discontinued in 2009, and therefore will not be ordered in 2010. this means that all commercially sourced wood will be from a fsC
source by 2010. however, challenges remain with our Community trade partner, teddy exports who currently supply some of our
wooden items. there is limited availability of fsC wood in india and we are reluctant to insist on teddy sourcing this from outside
india, for environmental reasons. We are working closely with teddy to help them source fsC wood and have put them in touch with
WWf’s recently established indian forest and trade network. We will monitor their progress closely over the next year.
