Sustainability is monitored through the FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certification. This internationally recognized system regularly and independently audits all stages of the supply chain—from forestry operations to sawmills and retailers. Environmental and social standards are assessed.

FSC®-certified forestry companies must demonstrate that they are harvesting no more wood than can grow back, and transparently document their management practices. In addition, the system protects the rights of indigenous peoples, safeguards the ecological benefits of forests, preserves biodiversity, and ensures that local communities benefit from the forest.
