What does Chain-of-custody mean?
Chain-of-custody
is the route taken by raw materials from their source to a final product, ready
for sale to the end user. Each process on the route has to be undertaken by
certified members to ensure the chain is not broken. This includes forests,
processing, manufacturing and distribution. Each member has to go through
extensive auditing to ensure their practices are within the requirements of the
FSC standard. As a retailer we have been independently verified for
Chain-of-Custody certification and now eligible to label our eligible products
with the FSC logo.

Believe it or not there are huge benefits of choosing environmentally friendly
flooring. Far less energy is consumed in timber production, processing and
disposal, than in any other construction material. Today, because the
popularity of real wood flooring has grown, so too has the commitment to
vigorous replanting schedules and responsible harvesting. More trees are grown
than are currently harvested so inadvertently increased demand has had a
positive effect and impacted on our environment and natural timber flooring
resources.
Adrian Lee from Flooringsupplies.co.uk
commented - "we are very proud to achieve
this status and feel it’s important for all wood flooring manufacturers and
suppliers to consider our environmental responsibilities, and to do our utmost
