About the board

The Independent Advisory Board (IAB) was established in 2019 to provide independent scientific challenge, insight and advice on our biomass sustainability.

The IAB focuses explicitly on the science that supports our strategy for each of the three pillars of our Sustainability Framework – Climate, Nature and People positive – and in particular the biomass sustainability that underpins these.
