We are committed to responsible stewardship of the forest biome by promoting the sustainable trade in timber and timber products from well-managed forests. Timber Certification We support international efforts to improve forest management, such as the development of credible timber certification schemes. We recognise that the independent certification of forests and the process chain is the most useful tool for providing assurances that timber comes from legal and well-managed forests. We will only use labels or accept certificates that include environmental or sustainability claims, if they are supported by publicly available standards drawn up in a fully participatory, transparent, and objective manner – backed by independent inspection. We are Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) Chain of Custody certified under certificate INT-COC-002108 to supply wood-based products originating from responsibly managed forests. We are also Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC) Chain of Custody certified under certificate INT-PEFC/COC-002108 to supply wood-based products sourced from sustainably managed forests. Look for FSC® certified products Endangered Species We will not trade in timber species prohibited under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Legality We are committed to purchasing timber and timber products from legal sources and operate a robust due diligence process, seeking evidence of compliance from our suppliers in line with the requirements of EUTR, to demonstrate that they are operating in accordance with the law. We unreservedly condemn illegal logging practices, and aim to keep ourselves informed of changes in international processes and legislation. Customers We aim to help our customers meet their environmental commitments by providing a range of products that meet the highest environmental standards.
