The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®)

The FSC® is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world’s forests. Established in 1993 as a response to concerns over global deforestation, FSC® is widely regarded as one of the most important initiatives of the last decade to promote responsible forest management worldwide. There is a chain of custody (COC) from forest to T&G via sawmills and wood factories which substantiates the environmental claims.

T&G have been a member since FSC® was incorporated in 1993 and was active in the earlier attempts to create an organisation that considered the environment within a commercial mandate.
