Accepted Timber Supply Program

In a time where market focus is shifting towards sustainable timber and as a defense against illegal timber entering the Lionex (M) Sdn. Bhd. production chain, the Accepted Timber Supply Program is developed. It is at the basis of the Lionex (M) Sdn. Bhd. CSR policy.

Main goal of the Accepted Timber Supply Program

he main goal of the Accepted Timber Supply Program is to create transparency and be a framework for good performance of supplying companies; it therefore questions different topics covering the triple bottom line. The Accepted Timber Supply Program is based on the Lionex (M) Sdn. Bhd. baseline; which covers sustainability, known sources, health and safety management, human rights and transparency, and by complying with it suppliers give insight into their production which enables Lionex (M) Sdn. Bhd. not just to know the origin of every log they trade, but also make sure all timber which is traded is originated in sustainable managed forests.

But not only the environment plays a significant role in the our business structure, Lionex (M) Sdn. Bhd. thinks it important to contribute to society as well. This is why another part of the Lionex (M) Sdn. Bhd. baseline concerns human rights. For our company this mostly concerns indigenous peoples and workers’ right. By using the Accepted Timber Supply Program as a tool for transparency, Lionex (M) Sdn. Bhd. and their suppliers show reliability and compliance with environmental and social values.

How does the Accepted Timber Supply Program work?

The Accepted Timber Supply Program request from suppliers to show their compliance with environmental and social issues by answering the following basic question: Does your company comply to the Lionex (M) Sdn. Bhd. baseline?
If the answer is sufficient the supplier can do business with Lionex (M) Sdn. Bhd. under the name of the Accepted Timber Supply Program.

A team of specialized people will receive the information from our suppliers to do the Accepted Timber Supply Program assessment. This is not a substitute of third party verification, however, Lionex (M) Sdn. Bhd. recommends suppliers to endorse to forest management certificates which perform third party verification.
