EUDR Compliance Process

 

Kuantum has implemented a robust Resource/Supplier Verification Program and adopted verifiable compliance mechanisms to meet all EUDR obligations. To ensure complete transparency, we have appointed an expert and duly approved external agency to assist in reviewing, monitoring and managing our compliance requirements.

Kuantum Papers Limited is committed to its sustainable goals and welcomes the EUDR indicators, as a global step in the right direction. We assure the global community of our commitment and adherence towards the same.

 

Our sustainable goals encompass the following key areas:

 

1. Management and Business Practices

• Comprehensive documentation and record-keeping to maintain full transparency.

 

2. People’s Wellbeing and Human Rights

 

• Adherence to international labor rights and ethical sourcing practices.
• Compliance with local and national regulations concerning labor conditions and workers’ rights.

 

3. Nature and the Environment

• Ensuring that all sourced wood and pulp materials comply with sustainable forest management practices.
