Responsible sourcing of wood
In line with our commitment to responsible sourcing of wood, we ensure that the vast majority of the logs that we process are sourced from Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC ®) certified forests.
The Forest Stewardship Council is an international non-governmental organisation, represented in more than 50 countries. FSC certification demonstrates that forests are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations.
FSC runs a global forest certification system with two key components: Forest Management and Chain of Custody certification. This system allows consumers to identify, purchase and use timber products from well-managed forests.
Chain of Custody (COC) Certificate
Chain of Custody Certification provides a guarantee about the production of FSC certified products. Chain of Custody is the path taken by raw materials from the forest to the consumer, including all successive stages of processing, transformation, manufacturing and distribution
The FSC label indicates which of our products contain wood certified in accordance with the Forest Stewardship Council standards. From a customer perspective, the FSC label provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment.
