Why Furniture Made with FSC-certified Wood Matters.
Forest conservation. Trees are harvested and managed responsibly deforestation and forest degradation. Forest areas with irreplaceable value, such as growth forests, are identified and maintained.
Lower carbon footprint. Wood is a carbon-neutral material. Trees absorb carbon dioxide during their growth, and wood stores this carbon even after being made into furniture.
Biodiversity protection. FSC-lincesed timber suppliers follow guidelines that minimize deforestation, which helps to protect wildlife habitats and reduce biodiversity loss.
Longer product lifespan. Well-crafted wooden furniture made from high-quality, responsibly sourced timber tends to be durable, reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs, which in turn reduces consumption and waste.
Fair wage and work environment. Workers are provided with proper training, safety protocols and fair wages.
Community rights and ethical trade. Local communities living in and around forest areas are consulted and their legal and cultural rights to land and forest resources respected.
