Environmental Policy

Overview

Trees are one of the earth's most important resources. They protect our natural environment, while providing us with a renewable source of materials. Winwood Products is committed to responsible stewardship of the forest biome by promoting the sustainable trade in wood-based products from well-managed forests.

Responsibility

Winwood Products recognises its responsibility to the environment and all involved in the chain of supply to its customers, and supports international efforts to improve clarity in the chain of supply of wood-based products to the end-user. We acknowledge that the independent certification of forests and the process chain is the most useful tool in providing assurances that any timber used has come from legal and well-managed forests, and will only accept or use labels or certificates which include environmental or sustainability claims if these are supported by publicly available standards drawn up in a fully participatory transparent and objective manner and backed by independent inspection.
