Shared Concerns For Our Environment

Our Other Certification Partners

Another source of domestic certified veneer is the Menominee Tribal Enterprises which has issued a Declaration of Self Certification. Menominee culture and tradition teach "to never take more resources than are produced within natural cycles so that all life can be sustained." They have been managing their reservation land and forests for nearly 150 years, recognizing "...the need for balance between the environment, community and economy, both in the short term and for future generations." Their vision is to "maximize the quantity and quality of sawtimber under sustained yield management principles, while maintaining the diversity of native species". Each Forest Management Plan looks 150 years into the future and is reviewed every 10 years.

Along with purchasing domestic veneers which meet the above standards, Exotic Hardwoods & Veneers is also importing veneers which comply with the Australian Forestry Standard (AFS), the Tasmanian Forest Practices Code, and the International Environmental Standard ISO 14001.
