Why FSC^®?

FSC^® is the gold standard among organizations that promote responsible forest management, and is endorsed by the likes of Greenpeace, and WWF.  FSC^® accredits independent third-party organizations that can certify forest managers and forest product producers that follow the strict FSC^® standards. We feel it is the only forest-auditing organization that can guarantee that the lumber and wood products you purchase have come from a forest that is managed in a truly responsible manner.

Green Building & FSC^®

Green building programs are becoming very numerous and we try diligently to sort through new programs as they emerge to understand them and work with the users of these guidelines. Currently USGBC LEED is being pursued by many developers, free zone authorities, and sustainable consultants in UAE and Gulf countries. Yes, FSC^® is LEED certified, which is an incorrect term, as FSC^® wood products contribute to LEED rating schemes, and USGBC certifies entire buildings that contain these materials.
