Our long term goal is:
'To supply and install wood products, which are independently verified as originating from sustainably managed forests'.
Our short term goal is:
'To actively promote the sale of wood products which are independently verified as originating from sustainable managed forests, over unverified alternatives. To bring to customers attention the uncertainty and potential environmental risk surrounding the supply of tropical hardwood'.

The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), which is nationally represented in more than 50 countries around the world, is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests.
The organisation is tasked to develop forest management and chain of custody standards, which enables consumers to make informed purchasing decisions that benefit the environment and their community.
We endorse the work of the FSC particularly with regard to Chain of Custody where timber is tracked through the production processes all the way to the installer.
Our suppliers have been tasked to investigate the traceability of the timber used. It is hoped that by tracking the wood from forest of origin through the various manufacturing stages, we shall be able to gradually eliminate unmanaged supplies. Our work on this 'Chain of Custody' approach is on-going.
