FSC Certification

A Commitment to Responsible Forest Stewardship

FSC Chain-of-Custody Certificate #SW-COC-837

COC certification is a comprehensive system for tracking certified wood from the forest floor to the sales floor, and through every point in between. It is the credible link that assures consumers that when they purchase FSC certified products, they are buying responsibly harvested wood from sustainable forestry practices.

Global Timber Products has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council as fulfilling that organization’s “Chain-of-Custody” (COC) requirements for responsible forest products management.

Your Guarantee of Responsible Forestry

Wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council is guaranteed to come from a well-managed forest that not only provides wood products, but also generates wildlife habitat, clean air, recreation and natural beauty for generations to come.

COC certification is a network of companies that handle wood from forests certified under the FSC’s Principles and Criteria for Forest Management, and exists to make sure that wood products that the FSC puts its mark on do actually come from well-managed forests. COC is an assurance tracking system that follows the flow of wood from a certified forest to finished products.

Trees in a certified forest are managed in a way that considers the long-term environmental health of the forest and the social and economic well-being of local people.
Wood products are displayed in stores around the world with a label that says the wood is certified according to FSC standards. This label assures customers that this wood has come from a well-managed forest.
When consumers choose products with the FSC label, they are supporting responsible forest management.
Each time the cycle is completed, the demand for certified products increases, ensuring that our forests and our environment will be well-managed for generations to come.
