Environmental Policy

Wherever possible our wood or wood derived products are certificated by the Forest Stewardship Council or carry the PEFC trademark for the endorsement of Forest Certification.  This means that these materials have Chain of Custody certificates.

FSC Chain of Custody certification tracks the FSC certified material through the production processes all the way to the store. FSC products can contain parts or proportions which are not fully FSC certified. The need to allow inclusion of non-certified material has arisen because there is not yet enough FSC raw material available and certain products are not yet developed in FSC quality.

FSC Controlled Wood certification controls the non-certified material in FSC products to avoid timber from the most destructive and harmful practices, such as illegal logging or human rights abuses.

PEFC Chain of Custody is similar in practice to FSC.

We use as much of our waste wood material to heat our factory as possible and we are keen to talk to any wood recycling practitioners who are able use the remainder of our waste material.
