All of CWP's products are available as certified according to the rules of the Forest Stewardship Council™, the highest standard for responsibility in forest products
available in the world today.
The Forest Stewardship
Council is an independent, non-profit, global organization that promotes responsible
forestry. A standards-setting body for a forest certification system, the FSC®, through its Principles and Criteria for Forest
Management, has established the highest standards for environmentally,
economically and socially responsible forestry. FSC forest management standards
consider key environmental issues such as minimizing clear-cuts, striving to
eliminate pesticide use, and the protection of forests with high conservation
value (ones that contain certain rare and endangered species), while remaining
an economically attractive system to business. Products that come from well-managed
forests are certified as responsible and may be used in building projects that
require wood with an environmental pedigree.
CWP believes that the world's forests are best protected when
managed under the FSC's rules. To advance the cause of responsible forest
management, CWP actively participates in the FSC system and does everything in
its power to advance the visibility of, and trade in FSC-labeled forest
products.
