The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is an international, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world’s forests. Since it’s foundation in 1994, FSC® has grown to become the world’s most respected and widespread forest certification system.
MG Joinery Contracts Ltd is a member of an FSC certified Group FSC-C004309 (group certificate number INT-COC-807273-DZ. This means that we work to criteria set out by the FSC® that ensures only verified forest-based materials are used along the supply chain, from sourcing to distribution and the finished product. If you request FSC® products, we can source certified timber from a number of trusted suppliers.
The value of FSC
FSC-certified forests have environmental, economic and social benefits:
Zero deforestation
Although trees are harvested, there is no net loss of forest over time.
Environmental protection
FSC certification requires biodiversity to be maintained, and high conservation value areas –
including old growth forests – to be protected.
Indigenous Peoples’ rights respected
FSC certification requires forest inhabitants to be consulted and engaged, and cultural rights to be maintained.
Fair wage and work environment for workers
FSC certification requires training, safety and decent wages for all workers.
