IWD are proud to announce we recently became FSC® Chain of Custody certified (license FSC-C203544). Chain of custody certification is how the Forest Stewardship Council ® verifies that forest-based materials are produced according to their rigorous standards and are credibly used along the product’s path from the forest to becoming finished goods.
The FSC® label on a finished product signals that the materials used during production have met the chain of custody requirements at every step in the supply chain, from sourcing to distribution. We are delighted that through FSC® COC certification we alongside our customers stand for protecting healthy, resilient forests for all, forever.
We also have a relationship with PEFC as promotional license holder this enables us to demonstrate our commitment to sustainable development and corporate social responsibility, as well as highlighting our engagement with sustainable forest management. Furthermore, by generating awareness and demand for products from PEFC-certified forests, we are helping to increase the value of forests and therefore reduce the risk of deforestation.
We select suppliers who share the same commitment and values as IWD, particularly around their environmentally friendly approach to manufacturing. IWD’s flooring product is fully PEFC certified. In addition the company uses a genuine perpetual closed loop recycling method. They utilise various wood waste, timber offcuts, waste, pallets, crates, particleboard, plywood and reconstitute this back into particleboard. In any one month the amount of post consumer wood waste delivered to the factory can exceed 714 tonne.
The fibre cement products that IWD provide come from an organisation whose products are classified as green and eco friendly, having received awards and certifications from the Singapore Green Label (administered by the Singapore Environment Council), SIRIM Eco Label, MyHijau Mark, Korea Healthy Building Material, Taiwan Green Building Material, UK Green Apple Award and the British Board of Agreement (BBA).
