In addition, they also have a high level of third-party certification, which gives customers added assurance that they are practising responsible and sustainable forest management.
Environment - The forests are assessed according to rigorous, measurable and scientific criteria that include ensuring protection of biodiversity and preserving soil and water quality.
Label and Chain of Custody - Forest products can include a label indicating they have been approved as environmentally-friendly and a chain-of-custody system, which tracks a wood product from a tree in the forest through all the steps of processing and production until it reaches the consumer.
