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.

The FSC Trademark identifies only those products which contain wood from well-managed forests, certified in accordance with the rules of the Forest Stewardship Council.
