This sub-metric is used to evaluate the metric : ""5.4 Wood and paper""
With this metric we intend to make known and compare the actions and policies of the main distributors in Spain regarding the recycled and sustainable origin of the raw material of forest origin used both in the elements used by their customers and collaborators (paper bags, material advertising and office), as in the assortment of own brand products on the shelves.
These policies are summarized in the following 3 areas of action in terms of the sustainable use of wood, paper and cardboard:
- Certifications that guarantee the sustainability of these raw materials (FSC, PEFC, ECOLABEL, ..)
- Recycled Paper / Cardboard / Wood (PCM)
- Initiatives of reduction (less quantity of paper / wood used), of replacement (by digitization actions such as digital purchase receipt, ...) or elimination (such as the non-distribution of paper brochures)

A responsible policy for the purchase of wood and derivatives by a retail company must apply both to articles for internal use such as office paper, business cards, stationery (pencils, notebooks, etc.) and other products derived from wood, such as toilet paper, kitchen paper or napkins), as well as own-brand products (primary packaging of food products mainly) and press and advertising materials that contain or are made of the following materials:
- Wood (solid wood, wood products)
- Cellulose (paper, cardboard)
- Viscose and cellulose-based non-woven fibers (hygiene, cleaning products and household items)
- Bamboo
This Policy must be based on specific actions and objectives in relation to the commercialization and supply of these raw materials for own brand products and material in stores and offices. It must include a strategic approach basically focused on the Conservation of resources.
The use of recycled materials is the most indicated, but if virgin fiber is to be used, it must come from at least a certified source (by the Forest Stewardship Council� (FSC) for example)
We will assign a "" YES "" to this question if:
- The company must clearly document and publish a specific and comprehensive policy regarding the purchase and use of wood and paper in the aforementioned terms by means of an individual document or clearly differentiated in any of its non-financial reports.
This information can be found in any of the following reports published on the companies' website:
- Annual memory
- Corporate Social Responsibility Report
- Sustainability Report
- Environmental Report
- Report on Carbon Footprint
- Non-Financial Information Statement (EINF)
