Corporate Policy Statement - Sustainability

Our industry will continue to grow as long as wood products are available for future generations. Patriot Timber Products places the highest priority on promoting long-term, sustainable forestry management by following these procurement guidelines:

  • 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.
  • Utilizing species that originate from sustainable forest resources.
  • Supporting NGO environmental initiatives with the goal of promoting responsible sourcing of forest products, forest protection, habitat restoration, and forest conservation.
  • Requiring suppliers to provide transparency and documentation showing compliance with both international and their own country's forestry management standards and laws.
  • Establishing regular monitoring timetables for suppliers to ensure satisfactory environmental performance.
  • Maintaining our FSC® CoC Certification through Preferred by Nature.
  • Complying with the regulations of the Lacey Act in order to ensure the wood we import is sourced, produced, and traded in an environmentally responsible and legal manner.
  • EPA TSCA Title VI Compliant - we independently test all of our panel products to ensure they meet the EPA TSCA Title VI standard for formaldehyde emissions.
