ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

Process

Pine Products NZ is committed to ensuring sustainable and environmentally responsible materials and processes are used throughout the production and distribution business’s.

The Forests

Pine Products NZ source more than 80% of its timber requirements from FSC® certified forests.

FSC® ‘CHAIN OF CUSTODY’

What is it?

FSC® is a worldwide organisation that monitors the world’s forestry and how it is managed. To prevent the further degradation of world forests, FSC® has implemented a set of guidelines and procedures to ensure a total ecological and sociological umbrella is placed over the forest and all downstream processes.

WHY DO WE NEED IT?

FSC® has stakeholders which include Green Peace and World Wildlife Fund (WWF). FSC® is not aligned with any timber industry or any Government agency worldwide. It is seen as an independent and credible international environmental monitoring body. A growing number of consumers want assurance that their timber product is from a sustainable resource and will not cause harm to the environment. FSC® provides such assurance.
