"We were very keen to be involved again in what is the industry’s celebration of business excellence, particularly with the Environmental Achievement Award," said TTF chief executive John White. "The reputational management of our industry with respect to environmental issues is one of the Federation’s central roles. This is underlined by the development of our obligatory Responsible Purchasing Policy for members and more recently our involvement with helping our industry manage the implementation of the EU Timber Regulation, and close liaison with the UK Competent Authority, the National Measurement Office.

"Developing, protecting and presenting the industry’s environmental credentials is absolutely key."

He added, that the TTF also backed the TTJ Awards overall.

"It is a great event, well supported and good for the industry," he said.

TTJ Mike Jeffree welcomed the TTF’s support.

"It is great to have the Federation behind us once again, helping maintain and strengthen the Awards’ momentum and credibility," he said.

He added that further announcements on Awards sponsorships will be made in coming editions of TTJ.

The TTJ Awards take place at The Landmark hotel in London on September 25.
