Our industry will continue to grow only
if timber and related products are available for decades
to come. For this reason, our company places the highest
priority on promoting long-term, sustainable forestry
management, including:
Operating with sensitivity to forest ecosystems
and the lives and cultures of the people living in
such regions.
Sourcing from suppliers with a known commitment
to responsible forestry.
Seeking to create value for new and secondary species,
thereby maintaining the diversity of the ecosystem.
Supporting organizations such as the Tropical Forest
Foundation, which has as its mission the promotion
of sustainable forestry management.
Requiring suppliers to provide documentation showing
compliance with both international and their own country’s
environmental management standards.
Establishing regular monitoring timetables for suppliers
to ensure satisfactory environmental performance.
Achieving SmartWoodcm
Certification, to promote the Forest Stewardship Council’s
rules for well-managed forests.
