Environmental Policy
We care deeply about our environment, especially where our timber comes from. We know that today illegal logging still continues throughout the world contributing to the deforestation of some of our most treasured forests and woodlands.
With this in mind, here at British Hardwoods we have always been strict in sourcing our timber only from certified managed suppliers, directly from sawmills or timber merchants, that are either certified by PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) or FSC (Forest Stewardship Council).
PEFC and FSC are recognised international non-profit, non-governmental organisations who are dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management. They work through the entire supply chain to promote good practice in the forest and to ensure that timber and non-timber forest products are produced with respect for the highest ecological, social and ethical standards.
As well as being mindful of our timber supply, we also recycle all our timber waste and are totally self-sufficient with the Talbotts C4 Boiler producing green heat by utilising 10 tonnes of wood shavings per week, thus achieving a zero net gain in CO2 with no fossil fuels burnt whatsoever.
