Why is FSC Certification Important?
Universal Forest Products believes environmental responsibility and sustainability are essential practices which will ensure the future of our industry. To meet the demands of the ever-increasing Green Building industry, fifteen of our facilities have recently met the rigorous standards to earn the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody Certification.
By earning this certification, we are not only helping to safeguard today’s forests but we also provide you with an opportunity to contribute by purchasing FSC-certified products. When you select items which have been certified using standards established by an independent organization such as FSC, you can be assured those products come from responsibly-managed forests.
Choosing products made from these materials can also be used to earn points in the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program, NAHB’s Model Green Home Building, and other state and local green building programs.
Wood is the ultimate sustainable and energy-efficient building material on the market today. Making the decision to select FSC-certified products means you are helping to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of today’s generations as well as tomorrow’s.
