SHARED CONCERNS FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT
With the increasing need for and interest
in Certified Veneers, we have actively pursued information and
certification for our company.
Exotic Hardwoods & Veneers
is pleased that we have received the Scientific Certification Systems Chain-of-Custody Certification (SCS-COC-00896).
Scientific Certification Systems is a forest conservation program whose goal is "to recognize the highest levels of performance in ... environmental protection and social responsibility ... and to stimulate continuous improvement in sustainable development." They conduct assessments of forestry operations and companies that sell lumber or products made from wood. These assessments are conducted using regional representatives and indicators that are based on the FSC Principles and Criteria (FSC Trademark © 1996 Forest Stewardship Council A.C.)
Forest Stewardship Council
Setting the Standard for Responsible Forestry
FSC is the world's leading forest certification system. Their system ensures that forests are harvested and maintained in a well-managed manner, and that recreational, social, economic and aboriginal needs are considered. FSC is the only forest certification system approved by the United States Green Building Council for use as "certified wood" in the Council's Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED™) Rating System.
Additional information on the Forest Stewardship Council is on their website: www.fscus.org. Information on the United States Green Building Council is at www.usgbc.org.
FSC-approved substrates such as Particle Board are available, as well as Fire-Rated Low Formaldehyde Emission MDF.
