Certified timbers
We are deeply committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship by sourcing the vast majoritiy of our timbers with a FSC® and PEFC certificate. These certifications ensure that our wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests that prioritize ecological balance and social responsibility and contribute to the preservation of our planet for future generations.
Sustainability certificates FSC® & PEFC
By sourcing FSC® & PEFC certified timbers, we support sustainable forest management worldwide and help protect biodiversity, water quality, worker's rights and those of indigenous communities. These certifications contribute to climate change mitigation by ensuring forests can act as carbon sinks, absorbing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. By choosing FSC® and PEFC certified timbers, we help prevent deforestation driven by agricultural expansion, ensuring that forests are not cleared for soy production, cattle ranching, or other destructive land-use practices.
