Environmental
Policy
We
are working with one of our worlds truly natural and renewable
resources and the long-term supply of timber products
is one of our company's key areas of concern.
As
part of our commitment to the protection and sustainability
of the environment and the world we live in, we fully
research each supplier and country we source wood products
from, to ensure our products are from legal sources, and
there is traceability and secure government legislation
in place.
As
part of our commitment to ensuring we have a solid environmental
policy, we also have chain of custody certification from
FSC TRADA-Trak (Our number is TT-COC-1117 - Certified
in 2000), and PEFC certified (070-TT-PEFC-0019 Certified
in 2003) as well as being members of certain trade associations.
We
are confident that our suppliers are drawing their raw
material from well managed forests which includes, State
owned Forests, Private Forest owners, and local forestry
cooperatives where felling and replanting is done strictly
in accordance with the country laws, and in turn conform
to the respective government stated environmental laws
as well as voluntary environmental schemes. These laws
have been in place for more than 100 years in many countries.
Replanting is required and consideration for the variety
of plants and wild life is a key objective. Forests are
well managed, part of Plantation Forest Management units,
and on average for these areas the cutting rotation is
around 80 years.
We always try to use as environmental friendly alternatives
as possible when it comes to production, wrapping and
transport of our products.
The
environment is important to our company and we constantly
look to maintain and improve ourselves.
