After failing to hit the official deadline for providing proof of due diligence, the company was given six weeks to comply before membership was withdrawn.
However, it is now putting the right processes into place, according to TTF head of sustainability Anand Punja, who tweeted that it was “great to see a suspended member responding positively and engaging to undertake required actions to stay in membership”.
“The company has now shown it is doing due diligence and we are assessing the robustness of their system,” said Mr Punja. “This will be done and they will be back in membership within a six-week period.”
TTF chief executive John White said in the previous edition of TTJ that, while the organisation was supportive of members in their efforts to undertake due diligence, companies which failed to do so would be suspended and ultimately removed the Federation.
This, he said, was in fairness to other members who had followed the rules and to protect the reputation of the RPP. Mr Punja said having to suspend only one company gave the TTF a due diligence compliance rate of 99.5%.
