FOREST
CERTIFICATION AND CHAIN OF CUSTODY
The
Company was the first in the UK to set up a group certification
scheme which enables forest owners to be certified together under
the umbrella of Scottish Woodlands' management systems.
The Company's
certification scheme was the first to offer FSC
timber to the market and is in a position to offer certified timber
under the complimentary UKWAS and other European standards. The
development of markets for certified wood products required a different
approach to marketing. By working with sawmills, manufacturers and
retailers, the company established new markets for British timber
from clients' forests.
All FSC certified
timber deliveries made by by Scottish Woodlands are covered by our
chain-of-custody approval. This means timber moves from the forest
to the processor down an independently audited supply chain so that
end users can guarantee that the timber comes from a sustainably
managed resource.
