We have developed and follow an approved set of procedures to track and handle our use of responsibly harvested wood products from well managed forests and we are audited annually by a third party auditor (Bureau Veritas) to insure that we are following the procedures we have established for ourselves. SPECIFYING PAPERS that are certified to have come from wood harvested responsibly in well-managed forests.
