SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY at Woodeco

The work surface product sold here is a product manufactured from timber that has completed its life cycle and would otherwise be disposed of as waste.

POLICY ON THE ENVIRONMENT, & ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The natural element of the company's structure is sound environmental practice, acting as a safeguard for our customer's future; for the company's future; and our personal future.

To trade in timber from environmentally damaging extraction would have a negative effect on our customers and ourselves.

Our aims, therefore, are:

To operate within a short chain between forest and consumption, in order to enhance awareness, together with maintaining responsibility of origin.
To train our staff, directly or indirectly employed, nationally or internationally, to be fully knowledgeable of the company's requirements as regards environmental practices.
To purchase timber, the origin being of forest areas that are managed on a basis of
sound regeneration.
To purchase from suppliers of timber we know maintain their own, fundamentally sound, environment policies, in order that our customers have total assurance in utilising an environmentally friendly product.
To fully comply with legal obligations of EUTR on all those placing timber or timber products on the European market for the first time; to conduct due diligence (DD) on these products to minimise the risk that they are from illegal sources.
To ensure all our suppliers, as a minimum, maintain compliance with all statutory requirements relevant to their sources, processes and products.
To be able to educate prospective suppliers into extraction practices which will meet with our stipulations.
To have all our supplies of timber, where practical, to be certified, as to the
Chain of Custody of the source of supply.

Woodeco was founded on sound environmental standards and has therefore an Environmental Policy as an integral part of the company's business strategy. Woodeco has not needed to adopt an
Environmental policy.
