Global timber markets increase the need for traceability and certification. If you can demonstrate the source of timber and that it comes from well-managed forests – with certification against a third-party scheme, such as CFCC/PEFC and FSC – your potential market is greatly expanded. Forest certification offers an independent assessment against schemes’ social, economic and environmental standards increases its value.
Whether logs, lumber, furniture, wood pulp, paper or other wood products it is important to know exactly where your materials have come from. In addition to forest management certification, we offer wood product chain of custody (CoC) certification, meaning that anyone anywhere, can quickly determine the origins and of your wood products. It is the guarantee increasingly sought by both end consumers and your customers alike.
