We care about sustainability and protection of the environment and forests.
For this reason we wanted to obtain the FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certification for the Chain of Custody, which identifies all the steps of the materials used (wood and derivatives) that lead from the forest to the final consumer – including the intermediate steps of production, transformation, finishing and distribution.
With an FSC® certification, we contribute to the development of an ethical and responsible system that promotes good forest management.
FSC® certification for the protection of forests and plantations
The FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) is an international non-governmental and non-profit organization founded in 1993 in Canada by numerous subjects (including environmental groups, forest owners, groups of indigenous peoples, wood industries, research centers).
Its purpose is to promote a management of forests and plantations that is respectful of workers and local populations and economically sustainable.
FSC® pursues these objectives by defining and approving a set of rigorous “Principles and Criteria (Standards) of good forest management”, developing different Forest Management Standards depending on the areas.
What is the chain of custody?
The chain of custody is the traceability process that ensures the certified origin of a wooden product or resulting from it.
Therefore, wood from an FSC® certified forest can be marketed under the brand (but it is not mandatory) and used to make various types of wood-based products or wooden derivatives.
The FSC® certified wood material must be traceable in the many stages of woodworking and in the many commercial steps – from the arrival of the logs to the sawmill to the production of semi-finished products (such as panels, plywood) up to the finished product (furniture, floor, tool, paper).
Thus every company that works with wood must guarantee the traceability of the FSC® certified wood material, respecting the conditions and parameters set by FSC®.
