Chain of Custody
Crafted Hardwoods is proud to be chain of custody certified in accordance with the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) and under the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
Chain of Custody certification is our guarantee that every step of our product journey—from forest to final product—is tracked, transparent, and responsibly managed. This certification means that all of the wood we source comes from certified, sustainable forests, ensuring we meet rigorous environmental and ethical standards. It sets us apart by providing our customers with full transparency and confidence that they’re choosing products that actively support forest conservation and responsible forestry practices.
With Chain of Custody, we’re not only offering quality timber; we’re also upholding our commitment to sustainability and accountability at every stage.
By choosing certified timber, you’re actively promoting a sustainable future while reducing the carbon footprint of your project.
Specifying certified timber in your project has a profound positive impact on the environment and communities. It ensures that the timber you use comes from responsibly managed forests, helping to combat illegal logging, protect wildlife habitats, and preserve biodiversity. Certified timber supports sustainable forestry practices that balance environmental conservation with economic benefits, contributing to local jobs and the well-being of forest-dependent communities.
If your project requires Chain of Custody (CoC) certified materials, please let us know at the time of ordering to ensure availability.
