Paper Excellence disputes the allegations. Paper Excellence remains in full compliance with FSC standards and policies, and successfully completed an annual independent, third-party audit of its certification recently. APP has also denied it ever collaborated behind the scenes with Paper Excellence or shared confidential information with it. The committee has heard from some top Paper Excellence officials but has not yet heard from two witnesses on its list: Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Paper Excellence owner Wijaya. We don't know the relationship with Asia Pulp & Paper.
