Responsible Forest Management

Forest management is essential to meeting the economic, ecological, social, cultural and spiritual needs of present and future generations. Wood veneer, one of the Earth's most precious natural materials, must be treasured and protected with selective cutting and active reforestation. In order to promote these goals, we carry FSC-certified wood veneers whenever possible. The mission of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is to "promote environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world's forests.”

The Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) is an international non-profit, non-governmental organization dedicated to promoting Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) through independent third-party certification. PEFC works throughout the entire forest supply chain to promote good practice in the forest and to ensure that timber and non-timber forest products are produced with respect for the highest ecological, social and ethical standards. Thanks to its eco-label, customers and consumers are able to identify products from sustainably managed forests.
