FSC
FSC accredited certification shows that the forest of origin has been independently inspected and evaluated according to principles and criteria agreed by the Forest Stewardship Council. There is a monitoring and tracking system, known as 'chain of custody', in place through every stage in the supply chain, scrutinized by independent certification bodies.
Certified packs of timber from Howie's carry a label showing the FSC 'tree tick' logo; our certificate number, TT-coc-1500 and the certification body, in our case BM TRADA, and a unique pack number which allows us to track each and every pack.
The FSC logo identifies timber as originating from a forest, which is managed according to internationally, agreed standards covering social, environmental and economic aspects of forest management.
FSC provides an incentive in the marketplace for good forestry practice.
