Sustainable Forestry
What is Sustainable Forestry?
Sustainable Forestry balances the needs of the environment, wildlife, and forest communities —supporting decent livelihoods while conserving our forests for generations to come.
Chain of Custody
”Chain of Custody” (COC) product certification relates to wood from certified forests and forest management. This particularly affects the following stages within the supply chain:
- Procurement
- Processing
- Storage
- Sale
Benefits of Certification
Certified companies demonstrate commitment to the environment and to ethical behaviour. At the same time, the wood can be clearly identified at any time and at all stages of processing and trading. Inspection and certification provides clear benefits to the customer and market partners, such as:
- Increased confidence through proof of fulfilment of the requirements of Internationally recognised standards
- Greater acceptance of the wood and wood products on the part of customers and consumers who place importance on proof of origin
- Acquisition of new groups of customers who have a high level of environmental awareness when making purchases
- Use of recognized labels as an effective marketing instrument over competitors without the certification
- Proof that the wood does not originate from questionable sources
