CoC refers to all the steps in the process for manufacturing timber products – from taking certified products from the forest through the various manufacturing and distribution stages and ultimately to the point where the final consumer purchases the product. It tracks the product from the forest to the shelf. For a product to be labelled as being made from certified material an unbroken chain is required. There are two key bodies who offer CoC certification in Australia – FSC and AFS. Porta holds CoC under these organizations, click here for more information on each organization. All Porta products carry a certification which means all suppliers and those involved in the supply process have been certified under the relevant Chain of Custody process.
