Forestry

Purchasers of timber are increasingly interested in where the product they buy comes from, and how it has been produced.

This relates to the raw material and the end-of-line products. Purchasing decisions are based on many criteria including fitness for purpose, price, delivery capacity, location, as well as the forestry management practices employed in the growing and harvesting of the trees from which the wood products are sourced.

Ensure Sustainable and Reliable Practices throughout the Chain of Custody

Assure consumers and retailers that forests and plantations supplying particular wood products are being well managed.
